Getting to be involved with fashion is one of the coolest things I've done.

I really like New York a lot, but I like it more as a place to visit. It was really difficult for me to live there. As a person from California, I'm still very neurotic and anxious, but in a more laid-back way.

Making music can sometimes make me a bit restless, so it's fun when I get to be expressive in another way.

There are a shitload of songs about being in love with someone who doesn't love you back and I talk about weed and my cat and being lazy a lot.

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

Touring is definitely work. You're spending a lot of time in the car and around the same people and it's not the easiest thing in the world, but it's better than working a 9-to-5 job or something.

I don't think lyrics need to be deep - just write whatever comes out of you. You don't need to find intense meaning in everything.
