I knew that in Hollywood they tend to pigeonhole talent, and when you experience a little success in one genre, their instinct is to keep you in that box.

The goal has been not to get pigeonholed. I like working in different genres. I'm gonna try to be entertaining and funny and do my usual thing.

Success is based on music, not where you're from.

When you look at what people consider success in the music industry, it's just terrible music.

My music is pretty versatile; I have a lot of genres and styles. I don't think I should be pigeonholed into one thing. So we'll see where my career goes.

I think that what appeals to me in my work is having the opportunity to inhabit different genres and so to reach different audiences.

Genre boundaries are good for marketing but they all but disappear when you're a player.

Genre, to me, is not all that important, and it never has been.

I spent the first part of my career trying to avoid genre because I felt like genre, in some way, was cliche.

I've realised that if I aim for a successful record, I probably won't have any success. But if I keep making weird things, then hopefully the audiences will come to us.
