I really struggle to get up in the morning, but I also get my best ideas really late at night, when I'm trying to sleep.

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.

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.

Moving to London was a culture shock, but in a really good way. I'm more aware now, and I'm less trusting of people in the music industry.

Working with other people, it's hard to get them to make it sound like what you have in mind. Also, it's really expensive to get your tracks produced, so I thought if I could learn how to do it myself, I could make five albums in a month and it would be free, it would be me, and it would be everything that I'm doing.

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.

Nothing makes me happier than writing a song that I think is good or that I want to play. Writing songs helps me.
