It's always music first, or melody and words together, but never words first.

You don't understand what makes you understand what makes your life better until you take something that makes it so much worse and you embrace that.

Over and over again in my life, I find closeness to other people and proximity to other people really painful; that's part of my mental illness, social anxiety. Closeness to other people is really hard, but it's also a shame because it's all you want too. But it doesn't always work.

I think the biggest, saddest thing that happens in our lives is that we just don't embrace the things that could make it better because they don't seem to make it better at any given moment or we can't decide how to get across the aisle to that person.

When everybody loves me, I will never be lonely.

Being in a band is about making the band the priority.
