I think to find an escape route out of a music industry that is becoming more and more focused on making money.

Sometimes it's not like I write very specific, it's more like I add an atmosphere almost to something that might have been quite awkward in my mind from the beginning. Something has happened and I want to force myself to think of it in a more positive way. And then I force myself to write something that convinces me that this is actually something pretty good or something that I learned something valuable from.

I kind of like polishing the songs that I'm working on. I'm really working hard on some specific songs.

I really think I need to find a home. I don't know if that includes a girlfriend or not, but first I need to find a home, definitely.
