I don't want to over think anything because the second I do, I start to fail.

I really do just try to tune as much out as I can and make things that I think just sound good to me.

It is a game you have to play. You have to tour your ass off. It's just always "where am I now" versus "where could I be?" It's constant competition with yourself. But I'm up for it.

I like writing stories. That's what I like to do. That's the way I see it, but with every song I get sucked into feeling something.

I operate in such a vacuum. I write by myself, it's a very solitary experience, and I'm not used to, I've never had a label or anyone to say, "We wanna hear a single, we gotta come back and retool some of these songs until they're more catchy."

I've always got songs ready to go. It's not a challenge to conjure anything, it's just whether the music I supply is desirable.

Everybody now who's playing in Unicorn band is deeply schooled in music. I'm the only one who's self-taught, which I think is a bit hilarious because I'm leading the band and writing the songs, but I'm surrounded by such overwhelmingly competent musicians.
