You're always going to write and draw inspiration from things that you're feeling, things that you've felt. It's kind of impossible not to unless you're writing a song and there's an exact scenario that you're trying to write a song for.

“A dream is only a dream.. until you decide to make it real”

That's the amazing thing about music: there's a song for every emotion. Can you imagine a world with no music? It would suck.

I heard some stuff recently from Julian Casablancas, and his solo stuff is amazing. If I could write with anyone, it would be him.

I find ambition really attractive too - if someone's good at something they love doing. I want someone who is driven.
