When I was 13, I wasn’t the coolest kid in my class, and that inner dork is a wonderful thing to have.

I don’t think I’m very much like anyone else, really. I’m sure there are aspects of other actors that I share, but I don’t see anybody else and go, “Damn, they stole my thing.” I’m me, and I like that there are people who have an appreciation for that.

I’ve been writing music since I was about eight. I would write sporadically. I wrote a lot of music in high school. I guess the oldest song on the record (“I Thought I Saw Your Face”) is about eight years old.

The internet’s like one big bathroom wall with a lot of people who anonymously can say really mean things. It’s fine, I believe in freedom of speech and I think people should think what they want, but I don’t care to hear it.

I tend to like simple music. And clever, succinct lyrics. Songs that don’t try to be more than they need to to be effective, to stir up something emotionally within you.

Clever Simple Song
Not that there is anything wrong with confessional songwriting, there are plenty of people that do that I admire. I think it is great; it just isn’t how I do things.

I’ll have these internal moments where I’m empathizing with someone else or feeling something myself, but I’m like, “How can I see the best in this situation?” Sometimes those are the moments where you can have the most clarity.

Clarity Feelings Sometimes
But I also feel like it’s the right of the people hearing them to have their own interpretations of what these songs mean. Sometimes people will see things that I don’t see.
