I'm a pretty young person, but I think you need a little life experience to actually say something.

"Beach." It's a very loose term now. Pretty widely used term. And that's awesome, but I guess my California experience is different from a lot of people's interpretations, and I think maybe I just wanted to put my spin on it.

I don't think I'm the best lyricist; it's hard for me to express feelings through words.

The next album I make might be the most messed up thing ever. It's all momentary for me.

All these kids who are growing up on Skrillex and all this digital music- what are they gonna think when they hear rock'n'roll?

Some of the best records are the ones that really affect you the most - they're pure emotion and energy, and it's like you're in that person's brain. It's pretty cool.

Trying to say something is all you got in life.
