Even though I'm known as a pop musician, I have a seriousness about what I do.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I've always felt myself as being a serious singer.
Being a musician is what I do, but it's not what I am.
My goal in life has been to be a songsmith, not a pop person.
I'm not a pop act, churning stuff out really quickly. I find the music that arises from that style of working is distracted, not particularly profound.
You feel this pressure that people will take you more seriously if you play guitar, but I've decided I'm a singer and that's enough.
I mean, I don't even think of myself as a musician, really.
Well, first of all, they're all about the music and all I care about in my professional career is the music.
I consider myself a serious musician. Doing a comedy show does not take away from that in any way.
For me, my music is fun. I don't really take my music that serious.
I never minded being thought of as a pop star. People have always thought I wanted to be seen as a serious musician, but I didn't, I just wanted people to know that I was absolutely serious about pop music.
