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.

Music is the first thing I ever cared greatly about. I've been singing and writing songs since I was six or seven.

It's hard to force a relationship with a stranger even if they happen to be someone you happen to share blood with.

It's very important to enjoy time alone with yourself and just existing, because existence is kind of cool.

I learned how to be more theatrical and have more fun, and to take a song and sing it over and over again in different ways, and make it different each time. I'm not just singing the song - it's this thing that's affecting me.

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