I'm building this reputation as YA heartbreaker, I know. Some people like 'happily ever after,' but I don't think that's me.

I'm always writing from some difficult place and seeing how the character survives... or doesn't.

When you're overthinking a thought like the way I do, I can get completely pulled away from something I'm in the middle of because my thought channel just won't help me get from point A to point B without any difficulty.

For me, I remember being 19 and coming out as bi to all of my friends. I'd had girlfriends, and all of these experiences and such, and then, as I got older, I started identifying as gay.

Plus, we spend most of our time writing music. Most of the time is spent in the studio in my house.

I grew up in baseball stadiums. It was my two brothers and baseball around me all the time. I knew nothing about film or acting or theater when I was young!

I have always felt that the Internet was a more important research tool for a writer than an artist.

There is probably nothing wrong with art for art's sake if we take the phrase seriously, and not take it to mean the kind of poetry written in England forty years ago.
