I would literally never think about melody. I never thought people listened to melody because I listen to words.

I don't think I'm delusional, but I'm definitely a dreamer; I definitely want to see the best in things and I believe in what I do.

When I used to write songs, especially on my own, it was just me and a guitar.

Sometimes when I'm writing a song I'll get carried away with production when I'm only on the first verse, and that sacrifices the songwriting.

When you go on tour and see everyone, you're like, "Oh my god. This is actually real life." That inspires me to write more songs.

Traveling really inspires me, seeing other cities and going on tour. If you've got fans online, it's hard to remember those people are real people.

I live in a neighborhood that's very family-oriented, so I feel like everyone else is sleeping and I'm sitting up, making music. It's just me. It's a nice time to be creative.
