Hey Reddit,

Zac again. Sobriety is boring, let's have a chat to keep life interesting.

Looking forward to talking about anything and everything with you guys. Proof on Twitter.

Hello again Isaac. Last time you answered me so I'm pushing my luck asking another question, but fuck it! Fingers crossed. If you weren't a musician what would you be?

Hello again! I'd be lost... hahaha. I'd still have crashed out of med school, I think. I'd probably never have left Halifax... I'd be a lobster fisherman.

Hi Zac,
Maybe a couple years ago now, I sat next to you at an airport lounge. We were both flying to Halifax and I was really starstruck haha, but it surprised me how no one bothered you, especially seeing as you had already played VS. It was obvious that people recognized you but no one came up - what gives?

You shoulda said hi! I'm the most impatient person, I get so restless when I have to sit around so I would have appreciated a chat, ha. Airports are always like that, it's weird. I guess people don't want to strike up conversation, then have to sit in a confined space with me for 4+ hours?? I've had it a few times where someone plucks up the courage at the end of the flight to ask for a selfie, and it makes me wonder if they've been sat there wondering if they should the whole time.

Since Alessia I get approached a lot more. Living in LA helps, I'm a very small fish in a big pond here.

Eeeee I love Cat's Cradle, so excited you're back together! Are there any musicians you look up to?

Thank you! Beethoven was quite good.

I tried to think of a delicate way to ask this but I'm just going to be blunt. You say you made a mistake cheating on Chloe with Alessia, and when you stayed with her I thought you were being honest. Then you broke up (again, not anyone's business) but now it looks like you're dating Kendra. Is this just the rock star/model thing? Do you think you're making up for the years you spent being married at a young age?

Whewwwwwwwww boy. I mean, you're not wrong? But you're not right.

Is Taylor mad at you?

I don't know. Pressure him into an AMA so I can ask.

Please ignore this if you don't want to talk about it, but I remember reading that your anxiety kicked in after your dad died. I've always had anxiety and my mom just got diagnosed with cancer, I'm worried it'll get so bad that I won't be able to support her.

Oh man, I'm so sorry to hear about your mom. I hope she's okay, or that if she's not okay yet, she's on the road to it... I've always had anxiety, but it got debilitating when my dad died, yeah. As a kid I had all these weird anxious coping mechanisms (I used to sleep with a hairdryer on in my bed, total fire hazard ) and they helped, though of course they didn't cure it. I spent a couple years in total free-fall after my dad died but eventually I got help and I started on medication... jury's out on whether or not that set me on the road to ruin, but it got me through that bad patch. I know this doesn't help, but try not to worry about worrying - it'll only make you worry more.

EDIT: that sounded glib. My advice would be to take each day as it comes, but be ready to ask for help if you need to. It's good if you could tell someone who knows you well that you're in a precarious place, and promise to yourself that when they say they think you need help, you'll get it. Joey does this for me all the time.

What's it like to fuck VS models?

They wear matching underwear more often than most girls.

I was at the same restaurant as you and Kendra last night and I need you to know that I saw you pull on the door and look confused even though the 'PUSH' sign was right there.

Please stay single for longer than 5 minutes next time so I can indulge the fantasy of us meeting and falling in love at first sight.

I'll bookmark your profile just in case.

How does it feel for CC to be back together?

Almost as good as heroin. Almost!
