Since I was a kid, when I pick up my guitar it's been hard for me to write some sort of bubblegum lyrics. It's not really ever been my route.

If you're waiting around for something to be handed to you or win the lottery, chances are nothing is ever going to go down, you know, so you got to make it happen on your own.

The world's pretty trippy. I just like to travel around and see what's out there.

You don't put out music unless you have a sense that people will maybe like what you're doing or you're standing for something artistically.

I ran away for a couple years just to prove I've hever been free.

You start treating your body right and your immune system is better.

I was in a hardcore band that had no melody, no chance of finding any success, and I was just trying to figure out what the hell I was going to do with my life. And that came out and changed my life forever - on an artistic level, and a lyrical level, for sure.

There's a lot of different things, but I think love gives us peace one way or another, and a calming effect on our soul, so I don't know exactly what love is to me, but I know I try my best to surround myself with that. Whenever I can. It's hard sometimes.

You got to head north. It's always about going north, you know?

I haven't touched meat or anything like that in over six years. You know what's pretty trippy, once I stopped, I didn't get sick from that point on. I'll get a light cold once in a while, but ever since that, I've just been completely on my toes and it helps for surfing too, to stay light on your toes and be healthy.

My point is I'm kind of an outlier. For whatever reason, the success still blows my mind - that I'm able to talk to people about the music I've written.

Let's say I'm at a party and I don't like the feeling I'm getting, I'll just leave. Why do I have to be there?
-
I'm my own worst critic and harshest critic and I just want to put honest music out there.

Some people are more affected by, I hate to use the word "success," but I don't know what else to say, but some people are more affected by that than others.

I have a lot of questions and I don't have that many answers. So what better place to exercise those thoughts than the lyrics, I guess.
-
I've been through a lot of ups and downs. I've been on both sides of it all, I guess. So there's not one specific event or thought that I'm dealing with or drawing from necessarily.
-
The older I get, the more I realize that you don't have to be around people you don't want to be around, and you don't have to be in a situation you don't want to be in. You have the power to rise up and leave.
-
I can tell when something's real, or when something's put together. I can just feel it.

I've always found it pretty difficult to write a happy song. Since I was a kid, when I pick up my guitar it's been hard for me to write some sort of bubblegum lyrics. It's not really ever been my route.

Never let your fear decide your fate.
