I spend a lot of time reading and try to make sure that I can get a little bit of alone time every day.
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.
'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.
The main rhythmic loop in 'Alaska' is me just patting on my jeans.
