“I want to build a life with someone that’s based on their dreams as well as my dreams. I think that the idea of finding another person to share with is the most fascinating, beautiful quest you could ever be on in life.”

Don’t like something cause “everyone else does.” But don’t refuse to like something simply because “everyone else does.”

“I started writing songs that come from that post-Apocalyptic dark mentality. And it dawns on me that the whole thing is a metaphor. It’s a metaphor for a mental state. So I have been living in the mental Badlands for years and it’s this part in the center of my brain that is this booming city. It’s surrounded by unexplored territory. I can’t leave, and no one else can come in. I suspect something’s wrong, but it’s all I have ever known. I can’t change it. So it dawned on me that this whole dystopian post-apocalyptic world is really just a defense mechanism, it was me.”

As a young teen, I went to a lot of David Lynch films, I read a lot of strange books, I loved to go to the museum all day. I was that kid. I liked to hang out with people older than me, I didn’t really know what I wanted to do. Writing and singing was just a hobby.

The whole album is a concept album. It’s like an actual storybook with illustrations and stuff. So, the Cry Baby character is basically the really insecure, dark, and vulnerable side of me that’s who I am deep down. Everybody has their own fears and what they don’t like about themselves, and I feel like that’s portrayed in the character I created for the album.
