One thing that I've struggled with has been a certain amount of animosity toward the whole human race.

I think perfect dates involve walking a lot, and not a bunch of driving around in cars. Ideally, you can walk together and go to a restaurant.

Humans are social creatures that really crave intimacy.

Horrible dates are when you're with people who are immature and can't really be comfortable in their own skin.

If you're 14 and you're skinny, you can't be on the football team, basically. It's just not even really possible. But skating is something that you can do that gets that athletic urge satisfied, but you get to do it on your own terms. You can be as ballsy as you want to be. It was perfect for me.

I think that what's funny is that I seem to be taking up the roles that I remember my dad having - for some reason, I'm the one who makes the coffee, and my dad was always that guy. It's kind of shocking how closely I compare to my dad.

I really know so little about recording, and I'm learning as I go.
