I've been writing a lot of songs in twos, songs that are like twins in my mind.

There's a lot of expectation after you do something that seems to have been well received. It's kind of unfair.

People should know each other because they want to, because they have things in common.

I don't believe people when they say their songs have nothing to do with their personal life.

I just want to scream: "I'm being honest, I swear!" Maybe it's embarrassing, but I don't care anymore.

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 enjoy singing the songs a certain way, but I don't even know how the writing even began. To me, it's work that is kind of invisible; it's a weird kind of work to have because you're not working, but it's not not work. Formulating your thoughts and making a melody that's catchy enough for people to listen to what you're saying is really hard!
