I'm competitive to a fault, so of course every week I'm just like, "I want to win, I want to do great."

I think the future is whatever I'm willing to make it.

I'd always wanted to grow my hair out. And now looking back on those photos I understand why I probably shouldn't have.

I'm admittedly a record guy. Singles and I are a different beast. I'm definitely an overall picture thinker.

Life has a strange way of working itself out

I actually got to write with one of my musical heroes, a guy named Raine Maida from Our Lady Peace. I got to sit down and write some songs with him, and that was pretty heavy. I listened to Our Lady Peace growing up. It got me through the teenage angst.

I absolutely think the Seattle grunge sound was instrumental to my music education.
