My first attempt at real music was when I was 13. My first signed band was when I was 21 that failed. I got another deal at 26 that failed, and then I was broke.

The older I get, the more I realize that you don't have to be around people you don't want to be around, and you don't have to be in a situation you don't want to be in. You have the power to rise up and leave.

In fact, on a side note, after the success of the first record, I got asked to write for some pop artists, as everybody does, and I did a couple songs for some of these massive stars and the review that I got back was, This artist likes the song but it's too POP-y for them. I was like, What do you mean, I thought I was writing for a pop star

I've always found it pretty difficult to write a happy song.

Some people are more affected by, I hate to use the word success, but I don't know what else to say, but some people are more affected by that than others.

Let's say I'm at a party and I don't like the feeling I'm getting, I'll just leave. Why do I have to be there?

I don't know that I can say what exactly love means to me because it would be hard to put that into perspective.

I want to surround myself with the people I care about and that has a lot to do with what love is. It's surrounding yourself with the people you do love and trust, and that kind of thing.

I've been through a lot of ups and downs. I've been on both sides of it all, I guess. So there's not one specific event or thought that I'm dealing with or drawing from necessarily.

You don't put out music unless you have a sense that people will maybe like what you're doing or you're standing for something artistically.

I've had the same core group of friends that I've always had. We're surfing, so that definitely keeps you grounded.

There's a lot of different things, but I think love gives us peace one way or another, and a calming effect on our soul, so I don't know exactly what love is to me, but I know I try my best to surround myself with that. Whenever I can. It's hard sometimes.

Everybody has got their vibes - it could be mountain biking, it could be hiking, but for me, it's surfing and music.

My point is I'm kind of an outlier. For whatever reason, the success still blows my mind - that I'm able to talk to people about the music I've written.

I was in a hardcore band that had no melody, no chance of finding any success, and I was just trying to figure out what the hell I was going to do with my life. And that came out and changed my life forever - on an artistic level, and a lyrical level, for sure.

More than anything, I’m excited to have the artistic freedom and opportunity to make a sophomore record. Everybody dreads the sophomore slump, whereas I am embracing it and can’t wait to either go down in flames, or take it to another level. It’s not going to be in the middle – it’ll be one way or the other. That’s how it has to be.

My point is, I don't see the need to eat animals. I love animals besides the horrible stuff that's put in meat, I actually love cuddling with animals and petting them and stuff.

I would say it's always been in me to want to have victorious songs. I sort of want my songs to have a feeling of victory, but through a lot of pain. Like, you're 75 percent to the top of the mountain and sometimes you fall back to the bottom, but hopefully by the end of the record you'll feel like there's no mountain at all.
