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.

Acting is fun. I enjoy it, but there is just not many opportunities to do it on a serious level. It is kind of either bad community musicals, or if you are lucky enough to be cast in something serious. I feel like you really have to be going after it, and for me I am a little bit distracted.

I write in a bunch of different ways, but my favourite way is to walk around my neighbourhood at ridiculous hours, like 2am. I feel like the movement helps me clear my thoughts so I can just get all of the words out and type them onto my phone.

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 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".

I feel like a good song is one that ticks all the boxes, but a great song is one that has this kind of special quality that just resonates with people.

I sit at the piano for a couple of hours and tinker away until I get something. I am a nocturnal spirit, like an owl.
