I'd go to the farmers' market in Santa Barbara, and I'd put out my guitar case, and I'd test out these little ditty songs that I would write, and I would get a couple of avocados, a bag of pistachios, and, like, fifteen bucks. That was a lot of money for me.

I have always been the kid who's asked 'Why?' In my faith, you're just supposed to have faith. But I was always like... why?

I'm definitely not trying to be, or am, a poster child for anything so structured. But I do have my own personal faith most definitely.

When I was 13, I asked for a guitar. And that's how I really started explaining my point of view.

I love those documentaries where everyone is fabulous and always perfect.

I think that everybody that's coming out to Warped Tour, when they come to see the show, they're always like; let's go see that band that band that band and... that girl. I think that I tend to be that girl sometimes and I think that it's cool that I get to hang out with this Summer camp of smelly boys.

I've actually always wanted to make something like an acoustic record.
