I'm scared to give gratitude to the people that, if I hadn't heard their stuff, I wouldn't be able to make music.
From Mike Posner
I'll read on Twitter, 'Do you still do music?' Music is all I do, all day.
Honestly, I don't go to clubs very often.
I've remixed lots of other people's songs, from Adele to Electric Light Orchestra to Beyonce, so when my record label said, 'Why don't you give 'Ibiza' to someone to remix?' I said, 'Sure,' because I like the idea of people reimagining art and making something new out of it.
When you're a writer, your song has to resonate with the person you're writing for in order for them to want to sing it. But if you're an artist, you can sing whatever you want.
Avicii's been a supporter of my music for years, and we've been writing songs together for a long time.
There was a time when being loaded and loved and popular really mattered a lot to me. I'd say that when I was less popular, I learned to be happy without those things.
I always wanted everyone to love me, probably because I didn't love myself enough. But now I realize that when you're an artist, you're making the music that's in your head and in your heart, and not for any other reason.
I believe in the ethos of the remix, like Andy Warhol making a painting of a Campbell's soup label.
I've only had success when I'm not trying to. It's that weird thing where if you're trying to impress a girl, you're not going to impress her. But if you aren't trying to impress a girl, you'll probably impress her because you're not trying.
