It's human nature, we take a mile when we're given an inch. We're crazy. You see what we did to the animals! They don't even exist anymore!
People just tell me I'm supposed to be sensitive, and I'm not. But I think I'm very emotional. I'm very caring.
Sprite really does taste different everywhere! That's like a fact. Because of certain regulations, you can only put so many sugars...
A lot of music comes from a selfish place…
If you hit a kangaroo in the street and you have to pull out on the side of the road, it can get back up and murder you.
So many things come from people's parents lying to them about the truth about things. I feel like, once those ideas die with people, we'll be good in a couple of generations.
I live in a pretty liberal place, so it's a lot of hidden racism and things like that. If you really look up California, it's a really shitty place when it comes to things like that.
I would for sure do a thousand dollar meet and greet because literally every single person knows where I live.
Drugs are horrible; I say no to drugs. I've never done drugs in my life.
School doesn't really teach you how to interact with people properly, you learn that outside of school.
Basic emotions can be conveyed through anything. As long as you show people that you're human, they'll relate to it.
Every project has to stand on its own. It's a different identity within each project, and I feel like that's the way it should be.
The place where you're from defines who you are. You put yourself in the wrong situation, the wrong things happen.
Touring helped me understand where I needed to be better in my music.
