I feel like "Not For Long" was one for me just because I got to work with two people that I looked up to...

Writing is something that I practice at every day to get better at.

I like to be around things that I find inspiring.

I'm a visual artist myself and always have been so it's very natural for me to be very concerned with presentation, whether it's artwork or onstage.

You go back and look at some of the ancient writings that exist throughout the world about wars and it's the same; the human beings' articulation of events is the same. That really fascinated me.

In college, I thought I wanted to be solely an artist, and then when I got here, to college, I was like, "Okay, well I want to be a songwriter," 'cause it was like close to Nashville.

People have this idea of me being some kind of monster, and that's the complete opposite of who I am.
