My mom is very romantic. As is my dad. They appreciate real romance.
I like romanticizing romance.
I'm just such a good kisser.
I can tap dance a little bit.
I want to dunk on Kevin Hart.
I don't want money to ever drive my career. I want my career to be driven by what I want to do in art.
I just make whatever music I want. It's my obsession, and it's very fulfilling.
The club scene is terrible.
I never felt fanboyish about acting, about actors, about movies. I'm a fanboy with music.
In fifth grade, I did 'Oklahoma!,' but I didn't get a leading role. I knew the whole play and could sing it already, but they were like, 'The sixth-grader has to get the lead.' I was really discouraged.
James Dean was always a tortured soul.
I don't just act, and that's really important to me. I don't want to just be an actor forever.
To be honest, I don't mind talking about my experiences in life, but details aren't for everyone.
What's interesting to me is the fact that creatively, I can do anything now and people will pay attention, and if I suck, hopefully they will stop paying attention very quickly, but if I'm good, then I have my foot in the door, and people have paid attention, and I did a good job, and people are like, 'Oh, wow!'
I like to buy girls shoes and jewelry. I buy stupidly expensive shoes. I got Louboutins for my mom and my girlfriend before. My mom was like, 'I can't wear these; they're too high.' I was like, 'Mom, you have to try them - they're so cool. They're red snakeskin!' She still wears them every so often, but she can't walk in them.
Girls love it when you have some weird nerdy thing in your room. It makes you look less threatening, even though I'm, like, very threatening. I'm the most threatening guy ever.
Some nightlife places, people aren't there for the music, and it's depressing. I'm not just a club DJ; I am a producer, and I'll only DJ when the crowd is there to enjoy the music.
My style is clubby and groovy - you can jump to it, but you don't just have to just jump to it. It's not just really bass-heavy and hurts your ears; you move with it, and it sounds kind of tribal.
It's important to be a divergent musician and do a little bit of everything, except you have to make sure your fans are aware of it and that you string them along the right way.
I don't do that much sampling. I create all my own sounds.
