As long as I can sustain myself and as long as people like what I am doing and are happy to support me to continue, that is success in my eyes.

I feel like if you compare yourself to other successful musicians you will never be successful, because there will always be someone above you who has done something more or done something first or done something better.

As cheesy as it sounds, I feel like I do write a lot, not necessarily for a message to be taken away. I feel like it is a little bit egotistical to be like, "I hope they are a better person after listening to my song."

I feel like success is really subjective. You could win a school talent show and be like "I was successful", or you could get a Number One in New Zealand and be like "I was successful', or you could win a Grammy and be like "I was successful".

When I come up with something that I feel like people will connect with that makes me happy because I know that it would be something that would just go beyond me.

If we all knew how to make that jump from good to great then I think every song would be great.

I mainly get my inspiration for writing from everyday situations and I come up with hypothetical scenarios and I can usually write a lot about that.
