I always wanted to be a singer, but none of my friends thought I could sing.

It's the coolest part about writing music. I don't know how other people work, but so much is derived from some amalgamation of all these different songs that I love. That's why they jump all over the place.

It takes a lot to still believe in people.

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

I never wanted to get a job of musician. That was kind of my thing. I came from somewhat of a musical family. I had an uncle on Broadway. My dad kind of knows how to play instruments. Although, I always find it annoying when he does play an instrument.

Even now, when I try and think of band names just randomly, I'm so thankful that 'fun.' is the name of the band. I never really think twice about it. It is so simple and so easy.

If you can make the song a soundtrack to what you're living at the time, I think that's the most important part of a song.
