You travel with the hope that something unexpected will happen. It has to do with enjoying being lost and figuring it out and the satisfaction. I always get a little disappointed when I know too well where I'm going, or when I've lived in a place so long that there's no chance I could possibly get lost.

The idea of writing songs because you're depressed and you need to communicate it somehow, that isn't really true for me.

I write a lot more when I'm happy, because you're hopeful, you're motivated.
