No one wants to hear the truth if it isn't what they want to hear.
I hate to admit this, but some days hearing about other people's problems actually cheers me up.
When I hear that people live by the book, I always wonder which one.
I'm not mean, I'm honest. Nobody is ever straightforward. But sometimes people need to hear the truth.
A lot of older parents worry about being older parents. I hear people say, 'I don't want to be too old to play baseball with my son.' They worry that their kids will be embarrassed by their parents' age.
It's funny because as a composer, you want to hear your songs live on. I think a lot of times people will create a song and it becomes stagnant or something that they're no longer interested in playing, and they leave it alone.
I have some amazing fans! They're just so dedicated and so nice and so sweet. I'm, like, no one and I'm just starting out, and these people appreciate your work and it's nice to hear that.
