Pop is a little bit theatrical. That's the whole vibe. That's the point - is that it's great music, great melodies, great hooks. But, on top of it, it's a presentation. There's a showmanship about it. And that's why I wanted to be a pop star.

Great music is its own movie, already. And the challenge, as a music fan, is to keep the song as powerful as it wants to be, to not tamper with it and to somehow give it a home.

High school music teachers... nobody makes a living off it.

What we have to get clear to kids is that when you offer your stillness and open yourself to the experience of music, it pays you back more than you give.

I enjoy being happy every day, and hopefully you can hear my happiness in my music. Life is beautiful.

You have to watch all sides of your advancement, you have to make sure people's bodies and minds are healthy and their morale is cool before you can really go out and play great music.

I love rock-n-roll. I think it's an exciting art form. It's revolutionary. Still revolutionary and it changed people. It changed their hearts. But yeah, even rock-n-roll has a lot of rubbish, really bad music.

Choreography is mentally draining, but there's a pleasure in getting into the studio with the dancers and the music.

Everywhere I go I buy new music shirts.

Music is universal too. Even deaf people like to dance, love rhythm, and can kind of pick it up.
