We Love A Good, Hyped Sound, But

I Never Wanted To Get A Job Of Musician. That Was Kind Of My Thing. I Came From Somewhat Of A Musical Family. I Had An Uncle On Broadway. My Dad Kind Of Knows How To Play Instruments. Although, I Always Find It Annoying When He Does Play An Instrument.

I Don't Play An Instrument - I Just Write In My Head, And I Usually Hear Fully Formed Songs. 'we Are Young' Turned Out So Much Like It Was In My Head. But It Also Exceeded All My Expectations.

But As Long As You're Creating The Art You Want To Create, If People Start Liking You, You Shouldn't Have To Apologize. You Want Your Stuff To Be Heard By As Many People As Possible.

As A Songwriter I Hate This Whole, 'if It's A Sad Song, It Has To Sound Like A Sad Song Thing.' And That Goes All The Way Back To My Days With The Format. I'm An Insane Narcissist, So If I Have To Get Something Off My Chest, I'll Get Something Off My Chest.

Eventually, Out Of Sheer Will Of Never Wanting To Get A Job Or Go To College, I Found My Way Into Doing Music Full-time.
