What we call human nature, is actually human habit.

My second record I used a producer, which was frustrating in a way, because I think a lot of the punky spirit and provocative nature of the lyrics didn't come across - the music was pretty.

It's important to cultivate a tolerance and patience with uncomfortable feelings. It's best to feel them.

Most of us don't spend any time knowing ourselves. We just keep reacting.

I grew up doing live tours and playing in bars, so it was what I love to do.

I was turning 20 during my first record. Those decade birthdays always kind of cause me, it seems, to reflect, look back, and then look forward. I just was closing this period of my life where I was living in a car and scrambling my whole life to then signing a six-record deal with Atlantic.

I enjoy hard work, I love setting goals and achieving them.
