I got into the habit of filtering out all the good in my life, focusing on only the negative. I'm not sure why I did it, but it's a pretty depressing state.

For me, a wake-up playlist completely depends on what mood I'm in. If I need to get into action pretty quick, it will be between Beyonce and Miles Davis. I'm a massive Beyonce fan, and all of her anthems will do it for me. And Miles Davis, because I grew up hearing his music because my dad played it a lot, so that will always be special to me.

I have a younger brother and sister who actually play in my band, and we were always into Disney music, big time. The first time I heard myself sing was when I recorded myself singing a Disney song. I remember it because it was awful, and I didn't expect to hear that. I think it was 'A Whole New World' from 'Aladdin.'

My parents were quite strict; we couldn't just listen to whatever music we wanted. It was very much like they monitored what we listened to.

'Green Garden' is about beauty and joy and lush green and dance and excitement and smiling from within.

Limitlessness is important for me; I want to be able to use every opportunity to push me forward onto the next thing.

I write songs from the heart, and I don't hold back.

You don't have to aim to be the best of everything, thinking that one day you're going to be the top of the world; I don't think it exists.

I respect hippos. They just look the way they do; they can't do anything about it, but they don't seem bothered.

My songs are very personal, which means they are fantastically therapeutic to write, but performing them night after night is emotionally draining.
