Things don't happen to you, they happen for you.

My first show was when I was a high school freshman, but it was at the junior class dance. My older friend and bandmate booked it.

Sometimes art is just about getting a reaction, that's really the end-all be-all.

If you don't listen, you're never gonna learn.

If I could've picked a birthday it would've been on Halloween. Yeah, it's always been my favorite holiday. Not because it was my birthday, but actually because, I think it was the freedom, you know? When you were a little kid, you got to go out and be an adult for a couple of hours. You got to, like, just go out with your friends and knock on peoples' doors and be nuts and pull pranks and stuff like that. You could be whoever you wanted to be, you know, I guess that was the appeal to it.

Festivals are weird, you never know what to expect so it's a bit more nerve wracking then playing your own show.

Very rarely I create things and feel like I don't want to recreate them in a live setting. It's a completely different world, but at the same time that's where I've always come from. Enjoying that give-and-take from a live audience, there's a large part of me that's looking forward to it, and creating that relationship again.
