I've told people that I don't see myself living very long. That really upsets them, but I'm just being honest.

Music is one of the few things I'm relatively good at, one of the things I understand a little better than everything else.

I've told people that I don't see myself living very long. That really upsets them, but I'm just being honest.

I became really creative around the time I started understanding that people could be creative with music and that that was allowed. I stated taking piano lessons at age five, but I never did what my piano teacher told me to do. I would just do whatever I wanted.

People think that since we're on a major label, all of a sudden everyone's telling us what to do and it's really not like that at all. They're just saying you should tour because you can finally get out of debt and everyone's coming out to the shows we sold.

The minute you feel like you've completed something you lose that momentum. I've learned how to avoid that. That's the bottom line.

I hated the blog hype and how fast everything was happening. It didn't feel natural to me. But at the same time, what's more natural than thousands of people sharing your music because they just really like it?
