I started going to rock shows at a really young age, and seeing other young people make music definitely influenced me.

There are some people I've met and it's stressful just speaking to them, because they're really pretentious and I don't know how to talk to them without being pretentious back.

I started going to rock shows at a really young age, and seeing other young people make music definitely influenced me.

I was thinking about New York and realized how much I hate walking around in the winter and how much I dread getting on the train.

When I was younger, my view of New York was really wide-eyed and excited. I've lived here all my life.

I feel like I can be infinitely inspired because New York is huge. There's always a new street I can go to, or a billion new people who I haven't met that I could write about. New York is very humbling.

I hope people hear my songs and realize that writing music is kind of easy, or that taking your sadness and turning it into a beautiful song is worthwhile.
