I think thatD404is such a cool idea, sort of following in the steps ofBlack Mirror.
But more than anything, I liked the idea of the character.
How would you describe your relationship to science-fiction in general?Im not thebiggestscience-fiction-obsessed person.
I love horror films.
Theyre my absolute favorite.
Oh my God, it was so upsetting.
How have you seen these apps wreak havoc in your friends lives?
[Laughs] I mean, honestly?
Maybe I find them negative because Im not on them?
[Laughs] But it is really interesting.
That real, true romance, I dont want to believe that thats going to ever go away.
I dont think I would want to go into the future at all.
Lets talk about your new album,Places.I feel so passionate about these songs and this entire album.
A lot of the songs were extremely personal, and I also just didnt have the time.
You titled it after the places call in theater, right?Yeah!
It means its time to go, and thats what this album means to me.
And so when I think ofPlaces, I think, lets start the show.
Ive already put together a really great show that Ive done a couple times.
And I tell stories.
Its my opportunity to connect and let people into my life.
Whats exciting you right now about where you are in your career?
Im 30 years old.
This album has a lot of maturity to it, and thats okay with me.
I hope it gets picked up.
Its just an incredible, vibrant, young, talented cast.
It has that great politics side to it, but also comedy and this great musical element as well.
It has all of the elements of something that I think is wildly entertaining.
The process reminded me a lot ofGlee.
Do you partake in the singing and rapping?
[Laughs] Nope!
Im just sitting and looking pretty this time.
