I fell into music, but I just needed to find the right moment to jump into acting.

I used to be unusually short, and I think I'd prefer that to being unusually tall.

Nobody had song titles that were as long as ours. A lot of it was just inside jokes.

I know I'm not a buff dude in any sense, but I'm more than comfortable with my body.

I used to study 'Hunky Dory' - and be mad that I hadn't figured out anything that cool!

My capacity for wanting to create has never faltered. If anything, it's gained momentum.

We're just like you. Were not these older idols, you know, were just kids like you guys.

I really like musicals - 'The Music Man,' 'Oklahoma!,' 'Li'l Abner,' 'Annie Get Your Gun.'

I love shopping online for clothes, but only from places that I'm familiar with their sizing.

I have smaller hands, so it's nice being a littler guy, having a guitar that fits my body type.

I'm always creating. Whether I'm writing a lyric or making a beat, every day I'm doing something.

I learned about being positive from my parents. They're the most positive people I've ever known.

I've done a collaboration with Action Bronson, which is, like, the coolest thing I've done so far.

You can't just be a musician; you have to be an entertainer and perform and act just to hit the bar.

I can go to festivals and open spaces, but if I'm in a crammed room with a bunch of people - oh my God.

I look back at the past as fond memories but I'm able to move forwards in a new light, like I'm reborn.

Halsey's a really great artist - her voice is great, and she has a really cool message behind her songs.

I was gonna be a cosmetologist. I didn't really want to. I wanted to be in a band. It kind of worked out.

I like to be flamboyant, play characters, wear make-up, play dress up. I was doing that since I was a kid.

I think that a band that cannot limit themselves to one genre and can kind of do a lot of different things.

Hip hop is doing the new rock thing; there are no rules. They can do anything, really. And that's inspiring.

You don't have to be the same as anybody else, but you can support - just concerning human rights in general.

I would love to act. I get to do it in three and a half minutes in a video on a three-day shoot, which is fun.

When I was a kid, we had acoustic guitars, a piano in the house. I made a drum kit out of buckets in my garage.

When you have four people writing lyrics instead of one person, the lyrics are going to be a little more broad.

I like surprising myself. I don't want to do the norm, do what I'm always known to do, write how I like to write.

I thought that the older I got, that partying would change - and it has - in the way that now I know how to party.

I love to surf. Hawaii has some of the best waves in the world, and the most consistent as well. That's always fun.

If I was a serial killer? How I would kill somebody? I'm actually a very compulsive person ... I'd chainsaw people.

I like to put wings on my mythical creatures, because I've always wanted to be able to fly! That's a dream of mine.

I'm so excited for 30. I hear it's OK. I'll probably do the same stuff, but I'll be more comfortable being who I am.

There are bands like Imagine Dragon, Grouplove, and fun. who have come along and shifted the way that rock can sound.

Before I had a steady job, I was broke, and I didn't have any money to buy anything, so I would illegally download stuff.

I played trumpet in middle school, and then I had to get braces, so I had to stop playing trumpet and start playing drums.

I always want to keep challenging myself to do something that I don't even have the foresight to know what it's going to be.

My favorite electric guitar would have to be my Duesenberg. I've named her 'Dolores,' and she sings like an operatic menace.

I've always been that person: If it gets into my head, I've got to do it until I get it perfect - a perfectionist's attitude.

Could I imagine being a piano? That'd be awesome. I'd throw a D-minor at you to make you sad, then an F-major to make you happy!

I've always been comfortable in my own skin - sometimes a little too comfortable, which in turn makes other people uncomfortable.

Synthesizers were looked at as stealing the soul of music, but then there were these new bands who used it to contradict that idea.

The album cover of 'Death of a Bachelor' is me on my roof of my backyard, so that's my place where I spend most of my time writing.

B-52's are one of the most unique bands, not just sonically but aesthetically, too. When you look at them, you know it's the B-52's.

I know Dan Reynolds from Imagine Dragons. We went to the same church. I'm pretty sure he's still Mormon. I left the church long ago.

Since I was a kid - youngest of five kids - I've always been starved for attention, like 'Look at me! Look at me! Look what I can do!'

I wanted to be an actor as a kid. My teacher in second grade had called a talent agency and had them call my house. My mom was so mad.

I'm trying to be number one. I'm doing the best I can and working the hardest I've ever worked to ensure I've got that number one spot.

It's not really a popular consensus to sing Sinatra - which I love! And I just think it's so cool that he disliked rock n' roll so much.

I find myself being attracted to dudes all the time. I'm like, 'Wow, that's a beautiful man.' There's no shame in it; that's how I feel.

I love going back to vinyl! I still have a great vinyl collection that I'm building up every couple of months. It's something I love to do.

I love being involved in all of the creative stuff; I love talking ideas with directors. Anyone with an imagination can create something fun.
