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.

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.

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

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

Smoke Ring for My Halo was the first album I bought of Kurt's Vile, and when I first listened to "Peeping Tomboy" I was really depressed and unemployed. But the lyrics are, "I don't want to work. I don't want to sit around all day frowning." I was like, "Ah! Yes!"

I think that a good song is catchy, and a great song is not catchy - but it has a deeper meaning.

If I make a wrong decision, I worry what might have been. I stress out over very insignificant things.
