I came up with a lot of characters when I was growing up that were just creative outlets, and then, at one point, I came across Gus Dapperton in the back of my head when I was making music.

I go back to things that are nostalgic for me - Michael Jackson, the Beatles, Britney Spears, Stevie Wonder.

I spend a lot of money on shoes and barely any on clothes.

A lot of artists have a super-specific musical hero they definitely try to hone in on. I'm basically inspired by everyone. I don't have one particular artist who I'm super-obsessed with.

Inspiration is one thing. Stealing is another.

No two composers were more totally at home in front of the piano than Debussy and Chopin, hands to keys to strings to sound waves to pen and paper in one perfect gesture of inspiration.

I think we dream so we don't have to be apart so long. If we're in each other's dreams, we can play together all night.

The crowd could be tough to deal with at times, but I learned to use them and the way they behaved towards me as strong motivation.
