Q: Sorry if that came off sounding rude, I know you've already had a lot of success with your stuff and have lots of devoted fans. I've probably listened to your music more than any other artist in the past year or so.. but I'd like to see you selling out madison square garden and hearing your songs whenever I turn on the radio, etc. I think there's a lot of pop artists who actively try to make 'pop music'.. which isn't to say that pop can't still be unique or great or whatever, but I think there's more to writing pop than just making what you like. I think a lot of these artists are really good at looking at trends in music and knowing how to appeal to a wide audi
 ence and
  all that stuff.
A: trends don't grow on trees... someone has to make the trends!
