Diane Coffee is just the part of me that has always been a performer. It's something that's always been there and Diane Coffee is just the name I've given her for this project. But I was always the one who would raid mom's closet and get all dressed up and put on crazy weird shows in the living room or film little movies.
I'm still talking about some heavy issues, but it feels a lot happier to me.
Love is a very intense and strong emotion, and it'll make you do some weird things. But I'm always for love, and I think when you find something really special, you need to do whatever you have to do to hold onto it.
With all my songs, I try to pull from personal experiences, like moving and changing locations.
I didn't to be like, "I have to write a new album. I need to get creative."
I just moved [Bloomington] because I didn't do well with New York. It made me kind of anxious and it was just incredibly expensive. It just has this very small-town feel.
When you're on the road for six months of the year and you're paying New York prices and not even living in your apartment, it just didn't make any sense. So I had to get out of there.
I met my new partner [in Indiana] and she asked if I wanted to move out of New York. I said yeah, and we got a house that's way cheaper than renting a closet in New York.
