Music is so hard. It's a struggle to get people to care. It's hard to make an impact in today's world because people aren't buying records anymore.

It makes me feel good to have some comforting effect on someone that needs comfort.

I finished 'Beautiful Creature,' and I felt somewhat unfulfilled. I felt like this other side of me needed to be released. Some of the songs I left off the album weren't intense enough to be what I wanted. They weren't hard enough.

Everything's been a struggle for me.

My songs are about not knowing who to be and not knowing how to act.

I was just dying to get out of my twenties.

If life is a performance, and I am not an actor, am I supposed to lie down and die?
