In the end, the most important thing is to be true to yourself and those you love and work hard. I mean, work like there's no tomorrow. Train. Strive. I mean, really train and cultivate your talent to the highest degree. Be the best at what you do. Get to know more about your field than anybody alive. Use the tools of your trade, if it's books or a floor to dance on or a body of water to swim in. Whatever it is, it's yours.

I just like having fun. It's a very good release, rock music, but you know you say that I am a different person on stage and that same thing could be said of anyone going out to do his job. It's my work, and I'm very serious about it, getting it right - when we began, we approached it the way we did because we were not prepared to be out-of-work musicians, ever. We said either take it on as a serious commodity or don't do it at all.

I'm never not going to have my work, because I am my work. I don't have any removal from The 1975 and me, and I don't find that complicated.

Fame is a by-product. It's not a goal. What matters is loving your work and loving what you do.

It vexes me greatly that having to earn my living has forced me to interrupt the work and to attend to small matters.

When work becomes play, and play becomes your work, your life unfolds.
