I like to believe that my best hits border on felonious assault.

I didn't try and say anything terribly meaningful. I'm definitely not a social commentator at all.

I was a very private person. All of a sudden, to see myself all over the internet and be like, "Oh god, do I want people to even hear this stuff?"

I still write poetry from time to time, but my whole life is so music-oriented at this point that it's hard for me to even think about having other hobbies.

It always felt like I had to be a realist.

I don't place too much importance on words. It's always the last thing I do because I'm definitely more interested in mood.

I did a lot of writing when I was in college, and that's what I thought I wanted to do; saying that I wanted to be a writer seemed more reasonable than saying I wanted to be a musician.
