I am really laid back and kind of go-with-the-flow, but I will never do anything that I don't believe in.

I want my music to feel like I'm giving something to someone else and not that I'm expecting something back.

I like Mutemath a lot.

My dad was a musician. He was a singer and he played the guitar, so music was always around.

Someone asked me a while back, 'Why do artists always write about love?' And I was like, 'Love is the coolest thing that's ever happened in the world.'

I love playing with a full band, but there's just like a different feeling up on stage when you're playing with a smaller group. It's easier to play off each other.

When you write an album and you're writing about relationships, the stuff that I've been through in my relationships, 99 percent of it is really good, but it's that one percent that always inspires you to write a song.

I love my fans because they're smart, dude.

I love pop music, but I love pop music that does something a little bit different.

I'm not a terrible person, I know that, but sometimes in a relationship, I can be crappy.

I write love songs!

I have an amazing relationship with my wife, but sometimes there are arguments. It happens.
