What could be better than working with people you love?

I want to be able to do work where I think it's very forward, but I also want it to exist in a big way and have an effect on a lot of people.

You can be a man who loves a woman but love someone the way a gay man loves another man or a woman loves a woman.

I love ABC Family!
-
I love to stay at home and write.

I went to high school in New York City. So, I grew up in New Jersey my whole life, and I was watching all the people and all the kids that I met there become so jaded.
-
I think that some of the most amazing places to be or to grow up are the places right outside of great cities, because you're sort of constantly in this suspended state of, like, looking inside the window, wanting to be in the party. I think it breeds good feelings.
-
All I have to do to continue to make things work is make great records, and that's more important than having a crazy master plan.

When you start writing songs on your own, there's no Bible, there's no one around you, so you're just writing, and you're left with, like, the dead space in your head to know if it's a good song or an interesting concept.

I need a hobby, and I don't want it to be basketball. I want it to be music. So to get away from music, I do other music.

I don't like having to be pushed into a box.
-
If you're in a conversation with me, the last thing I'll probably say when I'm walking away is, 'Thank you and sorry.'
-
When I work with other people, I don't have to do that - it's because I love to do it and I want to do it.
-
For 10 years, I had a band called Steel Train. We made three albums. We toured like crazy.

Bleachers comes from a different place. It's personal. It's just me putting myself out there as myself. It's very intense.

At least for me, any time I've been in hotbeds of creativity, I got excited about something that wasn't coming from me.
