It's a really good time for California right now in music.

I wear what I like to wear, I don't pick out clothes to try to fit in or whatever, I just like what I like.

There's a crazy energy in Toronto. I think some of that may be from being a border from where I'm from and being so close.

A song or an album is never really done. You can work on it forever, but knowing when to call it a day and knowing when to walk away from it is extremely important.

What inspires me is the desire to be on. The desire to be successful. The desire to reach people through my music and make a living off it and never have to do anything else. Being able to do music full time and travel the world and share this music with everybody. That's the dream.

Success is just being able to do what I love for a living, spend all my time doing it, connect with fans, and continue that for a long f - king time.

Thing is, I wasn't in the library, didn't study too much, didn't get the best grades, but honestly, I didn't party a lot either. I stayed in a lot.
