I haven't stopped writing which is good. I'm scared to stop completely otherwise it might lead to stagnancy.

I feel far more connected to the whole band if I can somehow physically respond... with my body.

Just try to keep the heart turned outward, as well as having moments inward.

I do like the idea of pulling in different producers to get new perspectives. That's what I did with Vows and I feel it just gives variety and makes for a more exciting journey for the listener.

I'm turning 22, so I want to start getting into work that reflects where I'm at in life now.

I think the idea of being on stage and playing for people, and being able to inject a little bit of joy into their lives is a really exciting concept for me. That's definitely why I make music. It's never been for any kind of materialistic reasons, so that thought of being able to be up on stage, and being able to give something to someone in a moment of need for them - that gets me up in the morning; that really excites me.

Im so fascinated by the human longing for meaning. The way we relate romantically to each other is so much to do with our longing for meaning as well.
