I'm working all the time. When I'm home I try to split my time evenly between resting and preparing for another tour, and writing stuff.

I've always been interested in fashion, and Urban Outfitters presented me with a huge opportunity to pursue that interest.

I like the 50s, party-movie aesthetic of the beach. I'm not really into modern-day beach.

I am a true believer that a record should not be a bunch of songs that sound exactly the same.

It's scary when you get to a point where you write these songs that people like, and then you think, "Am I ever going to be able to write something better than that?"

I was looking at pictures of cats laying out on the beach and I thought, "Cats hate water, so why would they like the beach?" But then I realized that cats like to just lay around and lounge and be lazy, and what better place to do that than on the beach?

I think it will be fun to not only play new music, but to get to play different instruments on-stage.
