A long December and there's reason to believe, maybe this year will be better than the last.

You live through stuff, and it affects the way you feel about the world, and you write about it.

All my songs are where I am.

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.

When so much money is involved in these movies, someone somewhere is going to try to screw you.

I think that, often, the people who can make you happy are right there, and having them in your life would make your life better, but you can't see how to do it.

That's where the songs come from: that's what I'd most want people to understand. What sounds good or looks good, that's nothing. The only worthwhile thing in art is seeing someone else's heart.
