I have my share of insecurities, hopes and fears. My music is my way to rearrange the world according to my own hopes.

You probably became a musicians because you're into it so stay that way. Don't believe that someone else has the golden ticket for you because they don't.

You make kingdoms and castles on your own.

I find pleasure in things that are simple.

I respect Chris Carrabba as a songwriter and I also respect his past. He's got this fierce, straight edge, kind of hardcore core. There's so many songs that people are connected to and they all came together in a kind of DIY way, which I really do respect.

When you're just shagging girls, you can talk about it, but once it gets real, then you don't.

My music is so often like a lullaby I write to myself to make sense of things I can't tie together, or things I've lost, or things I'll never have.
