Growing up, I always liked so many different sounds from so many different genres - the different aspects they could bring.

I have my name, and I have a growing fan base, so I'm gonna do whatever I want.

And whenever I do step away from the Internet or the music too long, it's like I have to slowly get back into myself to get back into the groove.

I told college I was gonna take a semester off, but I knew I was never going back. I felt like the walls were closing in on me.

The explosion in access to mobile phones and digital services means that people everywhere are contributing vast amounts of information to the global knowledge warehouse. Moreover, they are doing so for free, just by communicating, buying and selling goods and going about their daily lives.

I don't go on the Internet. I never go on the Internet. I don't go on Twitter. I'm not on Facebook. I've seen friends go into dark, dark holes of sadness because of that. Frankly, I don't have the time or the attention span for it.

You're sort of programmed a certain way because of your environment. That's all you know. But we don't have that anymore because of the internet. Because of the internet we're all communicating with each other all across the board, so you're getting information from people all around the world, hitting a much more diverse slice of culture.

You get the software you pay for. In every sense. To the nth degree. That's the way the world works.
