Life has a funny way of helping you out when you think that everything's gone wrong.

I make up new lyrics to well-known lullabies. Mostly because I don't actually know a lot of the lyrics.

I was always such a people-watcher. I would sit on street corners alone and watch people and make up stories about them in my head. Then, all of a sudden, I was the one being watched.

Love is thick and it swallows me whole.

In one breath, I can say that we are God, but in another I have to say that we aren't deities.

Unless I really loved it and felt really passionate about it, I would just kind of abort the song and start a new one.

Then I realized that secrecy is actually to the detriment of my own peace of mind and self, and that I could still sustain my belief in privacy and be authentic and transparent at the same time. It was a pretty revelatory moment, and there's been a liberating force that's come from it.
