I love songs that are very autobiographical.

When pain brings you down, don't be silly, don't close your eyes and cry, you just might be in the best position to see the sun shine.

The whole idea of emotions being something we can't escape as humans, but that deep suffering that comes from resisting them, we can move out of that just by not resisting anymore. But it takes a really brave warrior soul to sit there in these emotions that admittedly don't feel good in the body.

With songwriting I spend a lot of time living life, accruing all these experiences, journaling, and then by the time I get to the studio I'm teeming with the drive to write.

There is no better feeling than when you write something you know is a piece of you and that, at some point, is going to communicate with someone else.

You live, you learn, you love, you learn, you cry, you learn, you lose, you learn, you bleed, you learn, you scream, you learn

I felt like I was making a record under the radar, and that is my favorite way to do anything.
