I just didn't really know who I was, so I didn't really know what I sounded like. And so I did a lot of writing, and I studied abroad, and I fell in love, and, like... I got to be like any other college student.
I spent my whole life in Maryland, but I wanted to experience more - fighting to get to urban areas where there was culture.
The reality of my life is it's about 25 percent music, and everything else I do is so I can get that 40 minutes later to go play. And it is unquestionably worth every second of it.
I spend a lot of time reading and try to make sure that I can get a little bit of alone time every day.
'Alaska' was filmed at my family's farm in Maryland; 'Dog Years' was filmed at the summer camp I grew up going to in Maine.
'Dog Years' is sort of my way of saying goodbye and 'see you soon' to my friends from college.
