The music, I think, is just as important as the lyrics; it portrays the emotion of the song. I play the kind of music that I want to listen to.

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.

I reckon that growing up, listening to so much different music, I think over time I just kind of sucked it all in and it probably comes back out through my music.

Every time I write a song it feels like it could be the last one I do, or it always feels like a fluke.

If I'm not touring I'd just be at home, just driving - I'm kind of at a loss for how that stuff works.

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.

Once you write and record a song, it becomes everyone else's song.
