I'm totally open to outside opinions and criticism.

You're forced to step into that performer role. I can't just hide behind a synthesizer forever.

"Jogging Gorgeous Summer" song was inspired by a general feeling of sunshine, feeling good, sitting in the backseat of a car and hearing a song for the first time on the radio and feeling warm. I went back to the house I grew up in, and the people let me in to walk around. I went into my sister's old bedroom, and on the window ledge there was this little handwriting from my sister, and it said, "Jogging Gorgeous Summer." I thought that was a really pretty phrase.

When people all wear the same thing, people notice. They aren't stupid. People don't go, "Oh, you can see right through them!"

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 just think if you're gonna play a show you should try and look nice.

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