I know so many people that I wouldn't have ever met had I not have been travelling since I was fourteen.

I would never really listen to my own music or whatever, but I write music so I can deal with things and I hope that some people can relate in that. Maybe help people, or just bring a smile to their face or make them feel cool or something.

If I can hear it I can kind of play it. I guess that's how I write, just how something feels.

When you're a kid and you're in a classroom, anybody would die to be hanging out in London or having their sixteenth birthday in Japan.

I know so many people that I wouldn't have ever met had I not have been travelling since I was fourteen.

That's the point of music, to not be selfish and to help other people, I think.

Mainly, life experiences with my family or travelling as a young kid, I feel like I had a different lifestyle than a lot of people leaving on tour when I was fourteen and stuff, so I pull from that.
