For me, bomber jackets are smart, but they are also street and have a lot of attitude.
The Joker is my favorite villain of all time: You don't know his past; you just know what his plans are.
I'm the most boring person to talk to.
The mind of a 19-year-old is very different from the mind of a 26-year-old. You grow. You get into better relationships. You experience more, meet more people, better people. But when you're in a dark hole at an earlier point in your life - you write about the mindset you're in at that moment.
Once you've changed who you are or who you've portrayed in your music, the fans, they'll catch it... Once I feel like the world knows me for anything else but my music, then I feel like I failed.
I'm all about evolution. I'm the first person to judge myself.
'Kiss Land' is the story after 'Trilogy'; it's pretty much the second chapter of my life. The narrative takes place after my first flight; it's very foreign, very Asian-inspired. When people ask me, 'Why Japan?' I simply tell them it's the furthest I've ever been from home. It really is a different planet.
For my generation, the bomber jacket is like a replacement for the suit jacket. It's a piece that men wear every day, and it's something that I would wear for any occasion, whether it's on the street or going to an awards ceremony.
It's hard to wrap my head around the fact that there are people who can't or won't see what Black Lives Matter is trying to accomplish.
I want to be remembered as iconic and different.
At one point, I didn't care. Now I want as many people to hear my music as possible.
When I was born, that was the music my mother was listening to. Michael Jackson is a third parent to me.
'House of Balloons' was special because I had no deadlines, and nobody knew me, so there were no expectations. Spent a year making it perfect. Every song had at least, like, 7 different versions to them before picking the right one.
Marriage is scary to me, man.
The Joker that Christopher Nolan created in 'The Dark Knight' had the scar across his mouth, and the first time you heard his explanation for it, he makes you believe that's how he got it. But then you get into the film, and every time he talks about his scar, it's a totally different story.
Nothing feels better than going onstage and everybody is singing every word - and actually wanting to see you.
My inspiration is R. Kelly, Michael Jackson, and Prince - for the vocals, anyway.
Nothing is stopping me from doing what I love to do.
I've had sleep paralysis.
I was 14, and I fell in love with Pink Floyd.
