For me, it's always been important to have the live band be one thing, and the recorded band be kind of another thing.

I am super-interested in fashion. I love being a person whose clothes get discussed. That makes it more interesting for me.

There are a million things out there every single day that trigger me - songs, smells, even the season that we're in, fall. Something about the air.

In terms of being a kind of popular artist figure and knowing how isolating that is, and knowing what it feels like to be skeptical of people, and to be taken advantage of, especially by your friends. That's a hard to pill to swallow, and we've been through that together, or watched each other go through it. It helps to have somebody that close to you who can relate. I can say with some confidence that I feel like Sky saved my life.

I've tried to be clear about who I am, and be as open as possible with the press, and speak extremely candidly and openly about stuff. I feel like in almost every instance, it's completely backfired, and I feel like people have all these kind of absurd ideas about the way I think about myself, and my own self-identity.

I went with Beach Fossils and we played 40 shows because we wanted people to see us.

Music is an opportunity to say every single thing that you want to say. People will pore over whatever you say and however you say it and, for me, it represents complete freedom of speech.
