On what Taylor thought of his new album: “I spoke a bit to Taylor. At Gigi’s house we briefly spoke and she told me she really enjoyed the album. It was nice to get some feedback. She said she thought I was cool and I kind of blushed a bit and didn’t know how to take it.”

On feeling the need to work: “I’m just trying to do more and more. I’m excited to get more involved in every way that I can.

I want to work. I’ve learned over four or five years that it’s good to work because you’re earning, not spending.”

On how Prince inspired him at the Met Ball: “Prince created another world with the clothes he wore, and it gave him an otherworldly feel, which is all part of his legend. That was kind of what I was doing at the Met Ball… being fearless”
