No one sells a song better than the person that wrote it.

I never feel like I need to make a song that sells 5 million copies; that's not the point of why I make music. It's great if that happens, like it did with 'Clarity,' but my goal is to always make a better track than the last one.

I hate music, especially when it's played.

There is a downside to having one of the biggest-selling albums ever.

It's like, it's up to the people to fall in love with the song. The record company can only do so much.

I love music, of course, and many, many, many genres. There are hardly any songs I would say that I hate. There's a couple, and I don't even know exactly why I don't like them.

Some of the best songs that artists perform year after year are ones they hated.
