“It’s definitely time to take a break, to recharge my batteries. I’d like to take about six months and not go into the studio. I need to just live life, to be inspired by things again….It will be the hardest thing in the world for me to make myself not do an album and shoot a video and turn it in and say, ‘I’m ready!’… I already have all these melodies and ideas in my head. I have to tell myself, ‘Sit down! Sit down!’”
