I'm having a really hard time figuring out if I just want to do it solo or have other people join in. I'm really nervous because I don't want to try to recreate anything. I have no idea what I'm doing.

When Tim left it was really neat to see people come out of the woodwork. People who, for whatever reason, had never approached me before. People I thought of as my idols. People I really trusted and whose music I really loved.

When Tim moved away it got really difficult. We had a couple shows, but it was too hard. I knew when he was talking about leaving that it wasn't going to work out. And then it didn't. So, by default, I started playing solo.

They have been sticking to the 30-cent range for a long time, so this really shows their confidence.

I'm obsessed with adolescence. I love to write about people in their 20s. It's such a fraught and exciting and kind of horrible time.

I haven't had an easy life, but at some point, you have to take responsibility for yourself and shape who it is that you want to be. I have no time for moaners. I like to chase my dreams and surround myself with other people who are chasing their dreams, too.
