I'm really good in a crisis, because I don't panic.

There is nothing more important you can ever do for this world than to wake up and be a part of it.

For all the things I'm losing I might aswell resign myself to try and make a change.

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 feel like I've been in love, but I have stood aside from it over and over again in my life. It's all you want, but it's terrifying.

You have to kind of shift the way you look at life when you're in a group of people that you work with. It's not so much, do they make you feel good when you're around them all the time; it's how can you make everyone feel comfortable together.

But what you realise after you've been in the business for a while is that people develop opinions about you that don't have anything to do with your music, they like or dislike you for a million reasons, they like or dislike you for your last record.
