I liked the idea of being a photographer, just that you take this one picture of this one thing that'll never happen again - it's a bit weird when you think about it.

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.

"On Script" is one of my favorite songs I've ever written. I'd just been jamming on it one day, and again I was struggling with lyrics. I'm still figuring out what it's about. I've seen a couple of reviews that are like, "It's about the monotony of playing the same songs every night," because I say, "On script every night/Like a well-rehearsed stage show." It's not about that at all, but I find that funny, how people project what they think about me, or songwriters in general.

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!"

It was cool at the rock camp - girls could just be themselves and they could be silly, they could roll around on the floor playing guitar.

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.

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