I definitely grew up on a lot of American bands. I didn't really know that there were any decent Australian bands until I was around 20.

When I was a teen, or like 18 to early 20s, I used to go to festivals all the time. I'd save all my money.

Festivals are always fun. I went to a lot when I was younger and had money to go to them. I like playing at festivals. They're always kind of like a big, crazy circus.

It's easier to be angry. It's harder to be positive and happy, I reckon.

The first song I wrote was called "You" and it was a love song about somebody who didn't even exist. I remember them all because I used to always write terrible poetry. I keep all my notebooks.

Artists thrive off each other, and when you see other people doing cool stuff, it inspires you to do cool stuff.
