The nature of honesty is that if someone has information or knows something about you that you don't want heard, then they have power over you.

I feel like a quote out of context, withholding the rest so I can be for you what you want to see.

Everything I write is personal, really. Even when I'm sarcastic, it's quite personal. And on this record, from the production to the singing to the performances, I got it really honest. To the modern ear, it seems soft. When you hear it against other things, it seems vulnerable. Lyrically and musically, though, this is more subtle. And, yes, it's asking a lot of someone who's used to being hit over the head with bright neon to listen to this.

Everybody knows it hurts to grow up...and we're still fighting it.

Even though I live in America more, I feel like when I go to Adelaide, that's when I get to go home.

I love you more than I have ever found a way to say to you.

I drink a lot, probably too much. My scene while writing lyrics is always a bottle of scotch and stacks of note cards, pencil and pencil sharpener. I throw around note cards and drink.
