I had success early on where I'm able to try to keep it fun, and I don't have to do things just for the sake of making a living, which a lot of my musician friends don't have that luxury of course.

I make a good fried chicken.

I feel like all the songs are little scenes, different angles, of the feelings that come around something ending.

I really love things with melody.

I'm not planning to jump off a bridge with no bungee.

I'm in total control. I write the songs, decide what to sing and how to sing. I even control the recording process. But, with a film, there is no control at all.

If I make a record I love, then somebody will like it. Maybe not everybody, but that won't matter.
