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

Sometimes I have something stuck in my head and that directs the rhyme that I'm writing with.

I try to take notes of things that happen that I think are important or interesting or just little tidbits here and there that happen in life. And some of it's even just one line or like a saying and I just go off that.

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.

There's lots of interesting stuff happening in the world. Lots of good and bad things, and there's interest in music still, which there always will be, which is always a good thing.

People should be free to take whatever they want from music and I think that over time I realized that different people always find different things in my songs, which is really good.

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.
