Since I've stopped drinking I'm way better at singing. I can project my voice better. I can actually walk on stage and make eye contact with the audience, which I never used to know how to do in the past. So, it's made a huge difference for me.

I don't drink anymore. That's a huge - that's a massive - difference in my life. It's made a huge change in my touring.

I was living in the U.K. I was back in New Zealand for the New Zealand Music Awards, which is like our annual New Zealand GRAMMYs.

With the second record (2012's Anxiety), I was quite jaded, and exhausted, and tired. With this third record, I feel that I've come full circle. I had gotten to the absolute pinnacle of how bad someone could feel.

When I say “when you’re always almost lonely, you forget to take it slowly,” I mean that you don’t always take care of yourself.

It's crazy in just the difference it makes turning up to sound check without a hangover.

“Money to Burn” is a fantasy. I mean, I would love for that to be a true story. Most of my songs are written in metaphors.
