I kind of like being depressed.

I idolised bands like Pearl Jam and Smashing Pumpkins, who wanted to reach as many people as they could.

I kind of like being depressed.

I'm not going to lie. I check the iTunes charts. It's all about the iTunes charts. I only go on the Internet for the iTunes charts and basketball blogs.

There’s always some level of optimism in every single song.

It's important that I get time to run, to just go for a jog for about 30 minutes. It helps with my voice, but it also kind of gives me a little bit of time to myself - and you get to see a city.

A lot of times when I'm writing lyrics, I just think about insecurities that I might have and turn them into a scene. Some things may be true, and some things may not.
