“I remember looking at myself in the mirror and being like, 'You're not gay, you're straight. You like this boy. You have a crush on this boy,' and all this stuff. So I came out after high school, like later in life. And coming out was the best thing, the most euphoric feeling.”

“I grew up with this rough-around-the-edges, unpolished kind of vibe my whole life, and then my mum listened to, like, Top 20 kind of pop... so I feel like my music is that exact blend.”

“I think I'll always live between Melbourne and L.A. but being a touring musician, you're never really home anywhere.”

“Before I went solo, I initially thought I was gonna be a drummer for the rest of my life but there was always that itch inside me to be a lead singer or start a solo project.”

“My mentality is that I can do everything myself, plus I believe anything is possible. If I have an idea in my head I will not stop until it works out. I'm an all the eggs in one basket person.”

“Normally, I'm a bit of a perfectionist.”

“I have five stepbrothers but I didn't grow up with them. My parents separated when I was in my late teens and I gained two of my stepbrothers, Reuben and Josh, to whom I am close, when my mother, Lisa, remarried.”

“People can say what they want to say. At the end of the day, me and Chrishell are happy, and we're so grateful we're in each other's lives. We're having fun. We're happy.”

“Always in movies... drummers are portrayed as the dumb character... I don't know why. Most of the drummers I know are the most intelligent. When I studied music all my drum pals were brainiacs.”

“At the start of 2017... I bought a midi keyboard and one of the first days of my mucking around on the midi keyboard I wrote 'About You' in probably 2 hours.”

“I always come over to places I don't live, and I'm always so surprised. I'm like, 'I don't think anyone knows who I am here,' and then I rock up, and there's thousands of people.”

“After giving up being a session/touring drummer I decided to pursue this crazy dream I had of being a solo artist.”

“As the world has progressed and I've grown up, I've learned that a lot of love stories don't look like the stories in movies.”

“I cry when feelings are too hectic.”

“You can't exactly practice all the time. Drumming is hard on the road.”

“My sister had Britney Spears and Christina Aguilera posters and she loved dancing and dressing like them. I found I didn't have a pop artist I connected to.”

“If I'm playing drums I don't really want to wear a headband on stage, so I wear a hat that keeps my hair out of my face.”

“I had Channing Tatum as my phone background because I wanted to reinforce to all my friends at the time, that I was definitely straight and not into girls.”

“Playing shows is a feeling like no other. That's definitely one of my favourite things.”

“Being queer, I would love to write a queer Christmas song one day, I think would be cool.”
