I'd say Ernest Hemingway would be a blast to get drunk with.

I like films that go a little more daring visually, and story-based stuff that usually reflects pretty closely to what real life is.

I'm not bashing people who write songs that are just 'get on the dance floor and party party', I understand why people need those songs too, but I don't really write lyrics like that.

I listen to a pretty wide variety of albums so as to get influenced by nothing particular.

I want to play a show at Madison Square Garden in New York, which is where the New York Knicks play. That's what I want.

I tend to not try and listen to a lot of other artists while I'm writing, because if I hear something that's brilliant.

I'm not avoiding specifics, but I've always written songs from more of a global standpoint.
