In high school I was in a band called Goodfight, but it was more me running around on stage. It was very punk inspired. Then I started to get into indie-rock and older music and decided I wanted to write my own stuff. I quit the band. Around 16 or 17, I started recording myself at home on keyboard and piano.

I feel really good about the future and working with people.

When people disappoint you, it's just as much your responsibility to be aware of it and what you don't want.

I know it sounds so lame, but the songs are like my children.

If you can't be psyched about your own thoughts, then how are you supposed to have a meaningful interaction with anyone?

I guess that in a lot of ways, my writing is more of a character to me than something that I feel personally attached to.

Sometimes I'll hit a note and sometimes I don't. Why not at least try?
