Being an opener is all about warming up the audience for the main band. That is always fun, pretty easy; there isn't a lot of pressure.

Never apologize on stage. Most people never notice when you make a mistake or if you are having a bad show.

I am pretty involved with everything that goes on, and overtime have learned a lot about the business side of things. I have an amazing manager, who understands the business really well, so he is a great teacher.

We're always supposed to be happy and positive. There's something about letting yourself slip into that vulnerable space because you can really feel things there. It helps you grow as a person. I tend to enjoy being in a vulnerable space, in a weird way.

On tour I feel like it's always so go go...you're always just taking in and storing information and feelings and things. So for me I need time off to let all those things come out and settle.

Me and my friends get together all the time for girls night, or watch rock of love on the couch. I end up going out to a lot of shows, and surfing with my folks is always high on the priority list.

I think it's important to make sure you learn and understand the business that you are in, but it's also important to not let that get in the way of your main focus.
