As hard as I try to sound tough and dark, I still sound cute.

I'm a control freak with regards to certain aspects. I think you just have to be when you're making stuff in the world. You have to have a clear idea what you want.

If you wanna get to heaven, get out of this world.

Whenever I have a bunch of tunes written, I always find a kind of uniform that accompanies the songs.

I think you kind of lose the human aspect when you make things too perfect.

I think I have a hard time expressing myself in my relationships. I use songs to tell people how I'm feeling. If I can't say 'I love you,' I'll write a song about it and hope that the person figures it out.

I tend to work well within a deadline. If I know I have to get something in three weeks, I tend to A, enjoy myself a little bit more, and B, really work well.
