My next record I really just want it to be a collection of great songs, classic songs in a way.

I grew up listening to everything. I have such a love for music, but I don't want to make the same album over and over again.

I wanted to make an album that melodically people can connect to; something that reflects our times and the kinds of difficulties we face.

I'm very serious about what I write and who I allow to produce the music, because I want to make sure it's a true album, and not just something pushed out there to create hype and more fame for myself.

Making an album should be an honest experience. It shouldn't be about trying to gauge where popular music is today; it should be about artistic expression and putting down what you want to put down.

I've done a lot of albums and I kinda know when I'm onto something that was inspirational for me to record and create, and this was one of those projects where I really enjoyed making the album.

I don't want to have that thing where I make an album and then I'm super-constantly present in everyone's life for three years, and then gone for the next three.

I've always dreamed of having an album. The problem is that it's just very difficult to make an album nowadays because through technology, music shifts so fast, especially electronic music. Once you make five songs, the first one you did is already old and you wished you would have put it out right away. So that's kind of the difficult part.

I always want to make an album that lets people immerse in it, kind of like you get caught up in a good movie.

I would love to be one of the few artists that hits a point of success and can go back into the studio and make another album that matters and relates to people and not go back in and be super tainted by this whole thing.
