I began absolutely non-stop tormenting my parents, begging them on a daily basis to move there.

The one place where I'm allowed to rebel, and the one place where I'm allowed to not worry about censoring myself is my music.

Just keep doing 'you', and being who you are and doing what feels natural to you.

One of my big goals as a human being is to continue to write what's really happening to me, even if it's a tough pill to swallow for people around me.... I do fear that if I ever were to have someone in my life who mattered, I would second-guess every one of my lyrics.

I don't talk about my personal life in great detail. I write about it in my songs, and I feel like you can share enough about your life in your music to let people know what you're going through.

At some point you have to forget about grudges because they only hurt.

Some combinations of people are toxic, you know? You have to find the right one that isn't just going to explode into fiery ash and destruction.
