M: If you were writing your autobiography, what would you put in it? What would you want people to know about you?
L: I've always looked for the perfect life to step into. I've done all the work, taken all the paths to get where I wanted. But no matter how far I go, I still come home to me. At home I'm just Layne, a guy who has interests that extend far beyond music. Music is the career I'm lucky enough to get paid for, but I have other desires and passions. Music is the doorway that has led me to drawing, photography, and writing.
