It's important that when kids are listening to my music they don't think of it as their parent's music.

If parents don't like some of the stuff I do then they shouldn't let their kids watch me.

I don't know, but I think kids just want to be listened to, so I want to make sure I do that.

Kids these days don't know as much about music as they think they do.

The music I always liked as a kid was stuff I could bum out to and realize, 'Hey, someone else feels that way, too.' So if someone can do that with my music, it's mission accomplished.

My parents were just really weird and protective about the music I listened to. Whenever I wanted to buy an album, they would have to buy it first and listen to it and let me know if I could have it.

Everybody always wants to rebel against their parents' music, but nobody listened to music louder than my dad.

I feel like, if I'm going to have young, impressionable people listening to my music, then I'm going to respect that.

My mum especially listens to music in a way that is incredibly feelings-based. There's virtually no snobbery about what sounds are in it, she just wants to hear a song and that is quite refreshing.
