"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.

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.

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

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