I am so anti-people's opinions when I'm making a record, but when it's finished and I put it out there, I hope somebody likes it.

You can be the moon and still be jealous of the stars.

I don't want to hear songs about how sunshiny things are. I don't like songs that feel like radio candy I like the ones that make you think, laugh or cry - they pull some kind of emotion out of you.

I try to write relevant songs about life and whatever I'm going through and whatever people are going through.

My goal is to hit the gym every day I'm on vacation. Usually I just end up sleeping and drinking beer.

Everything about the music industry takes away from you as an artist. They're always wondering what the next thing is: 'What do you have?' It's a very introverted process.

When you take other people's opinions, you end up flailing and you have no center.
