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.

I'm not really the most confident guy in the world, but I also don't care too much about what people think about me either. I just try to be honest in what I like and see who likes it.

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

For the most part, I'm extremely thankful for the life I have and what I get to do in the future.

I don't like meeting bands that I like, because in the slight case that they might not be cool, it kind of ruins it for me.

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

My thing is I'd love to be friends with Thom Yorke but if he wasn't a nice guy it would ruin everything for me, I probably wouldn't be able to listen to his music.

Music and friends are the most important to me really, it's all I ever do.

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

I just want people to understand have fun, enjoy your time, enjoy your time on this Earth.

We do not believe that a nuclear war should be fought, and we do not believe that a nuclear war can be won.

I tend to write things and review it afterwards and realise what comes out. I very rarely ever write something and have to take it back.

The team is never about the single player. It's not about the injury that keeps a star out of a certain game, and it's not about the coach. It's about the strength, and the abilities of the sum.

You don’t have to have a boyfriend to be happy, to be pretty, or belong.

I had some tough times. Now that I look back on it, I'm very grateful for those times. I know now that I needed them. But at the time you think, 'Man, I wish I could just get to the major leagues!'

Acceptance and awareness are the keys to freedom.
