I feel like that's so important, to enjoy my own music. Because if I'm not passionate about my music, then it's going to show to the fans.

I'm not one of those artists who doesn't want to play their most popular songs.

Certain kinds of people will always have an issue with my music. But that's fine; it's OK. I don't want to be the McDonald's of music. I don't want to not turn anyone off. If you were everybody's cup of tea, you'd probably be boring.

I make music, and if people like it, they like it, and some people won't.

I wouldn't mind being popular in other ways, but not with music.

Anytime something starts to feel like a popularity contest or not about the music, I'd rather just not be involved. I'm not a big high-fiver. That really gets to people around me when we have a No. 1 or something big happen. I'm not a big, 'Let's go have a party about it!'

I feel that the music that I do is somewhat of a lost art and it's not as popular as dance or pop music and people are not as interested in it. But it's something that I believe in and I feel that it's needed, so that's why I do it and I will keep doing it until everybody hears it and gets it.

Music is something I can't stop. Whether people are going to hear it or not, I'm still going to make music.

The thing is, I make music I like. So it's just weird if someone says they don't like it.

No one told me I had to make something that would sell, but I personally want everyone to like my music.
