I write by myself initially. That's the way I've always written, just working on pure thought by myself. Then I bring it to the table with whoever I'm collaborating with.

When you're miserable, you don't want anyone around you to be happy.

I love folk; that's a big part of my background.

People told me I can't dress like a fairy. I say, I'm in a rock band and I cand do whatever the hell I want!

I dream crazy vivid dreams. Like, entire movies. And sometimes I write songs about them.

Inspiration comes in the middle of the night when you should be doing homework.

I was always a drama queen. I remember playing in the kitchen, trying to get my mom to think I was dead and call the police. When she didn't, I would cry. I was always theatrical. I don't think any of my relatives are surprised.
