I don't expect to try to get people to like everything I do. I want them to respect what I do.

I'm not interested in meeting people's expectations, and I'm not interested in pleasing people.

I like to do something different that people don't expect. That's what I've always been about, in everything I do.

I have learned through time that not everyone is interested in the kinds of things that fascinate me.

The things that people won't totally accept come in all shapes and sizes and forms, and I can relate to that in my own youth.

Usually, I'm just pleasing myself and I have very similar tastes I think to an audience, what that core audience really likes.

I try to not focus on what people expect from me.

I think, in music, you're always hoping that you'll have a like-minded audience and that the music you like making will appeal to them, too.

People often expect me to be something other than what I am.

I'm trying not to put myself into anything I'm not 100 percent confident about.
