I'm just a consequence of the great musical momentum and the great changes we are going through in the world.
There's just no way to stop a movement in popular culture. It's going to happen, with or without you. There's absolutely no way to stop that train.
You never know what will happen. There is a thing called zeitgeist. You have to hit it.
People who want to wage cultural wars ought to keep in mind that cultural views often don't move at all for a very long time, but when they move they can move very fast.
They say you can do honest, sincere work for decades, but you're given in general a 10-year period when what you do touches the zeitgeist - when you're relevant. And I'm aware of that, and I don't want my time to go by.
Having a hit is nice, having some success, but when you move popular culture, that's a high.
I feel like the thing we can do is celebrate people doing great work and create more cultural momentum and awareness that this is an important thing in the world. So when the next economic crisis hits and people are talking about where to cut from the budget, science isn't the thing.
