I've always been a very emotional person and as a child. I guess writing felt like something that I could do in private to process things.

I realised that being sensitive means you can connect to all kinds of people. I think I've learned that it is a gift as well.

All of my songs are so hyper-specific - that they can seem universal is a beautiful thing.

What I want to do with my music is to just encourage vulnerability, and to talk about things even if they're uncomfortable. Everyone has mental health - everyone has a mind that works in different ways and goes through highs and lows.

There are so many individuals. We're not going to all have the same ways of being or priorities or personalities. You can't have this umbrella thing. Even if you look at other artists my age, people are making completely different music and have different goals.

I was writing short stories aged seven or eight. I had a vivid, overactive imagination.

Paris is different from LA in regards to its historical architecture. I think that's what gives Paris it's charm and beauty.

I think you can leave the arts, superior or inferior, to the conscience of mankind.

When I make art, I think about its ability to connect with others, to bring them into the process.

I think art is the imperfectly perfect or perfectly imperfect way of self-expression.

I think all art - even one as lowly as making jokes about celebrities - is there to make a connection.

I think in art, but especially in films, people are trying to confirm their own existences.
