I wanted people to connect with the lyrics, even if it's in some weird way, because they're all personal.

I've always had this thing where I've always seen my parents as people, from a very young age.

My mom really instilled in me this idea that parents are not perfect and they make mistakes.

I had the idea to become really emotionally detached, and a lot of the time I've treated people that I've cared about a lot really unfairly.

I still listen to black metal all the time - that's obviously one of my favorite kinds of music - but I steer from it very strongly.

Our houses are at least 12 feet under water. All you can see on TV are rooftops. And the bridge we came across, the I-10 twin span, is now split.

I love seeing people get excited.
