When something really hits me, it makes me want to either jump off something really high or lie down and be buried. I want people to get hit and caught by my music.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Music has a way of getting under your skin.
And my music is always such a release of what I feel inside, an impulse.
Once you've established yourself with hits that become part of people's lives, then they pretty much always want to see you.
I don't like to go trampling on other people's sounds. That's really about it - I don't gravitate towards it, I try to move away from it.
I think music will always be a big part of my life. I can't go five minutes without singing, sometimes unconsciously. And people stare at me, and I'm wondering why they're staring, and then I'm realizing that I'm belting out a tune.
Whenever you write music, you want it to touch people on a certain level. I mean, I've been reading tweets about 'Troublemaker' and people saying 'OMG, I can so relate to this - this is a guy that I fancy, or a girl that I fancy; it's exactly like this person.'
When that music comes on, I just block everything around me out.
The reason I play music is to touch people - for selfish reasons, as well. It feels good to make someone else feel something, whether it's a kiss, a painting, good idea or it's a song.
My approach is to be part of a band that makes music, not hit songs.
One good thing about music, when it hits you, you feel no pain.
