I think it's cool to give people encouragement.

The melody and the structure of a song always comes first for me, so the emotions behind it can sometimes be a challenge: What am I feeling about this song? Where did the melody come from? I want it to be heartfelt.

I think we stumbled onto our own sort of lore back in high school. We weren't with the drinkers, we were more the psychedelic warriors. We sat around watching horror films.

I didn't really know why I wanted to go to college. I didn't really have a reason to go there other than the fact that everybody else was doing it.

Sometimes I have the idea right away, like, "Oh, this is what this song's about. This is how I'm feeling."

I always thought it was important for my lyrics to come from a really honest place.
