The thing I always default to is that I'll always be here to write songs.

My message to anyone who's afraid that they can't write music when they're happy is 'Just trust the passion.' The passion can write a lot of things.

I'll be writing records until I'm dead, whether people like it or not!

These precious illusions in my head did not let me down when I was defenseless, and parting with them is like parting with invisible best friends.

Looking for approval or blaming others or feeling like a victim. Whenever I feel myself doing that I try to stop and see myself as someone who's a creator in more ways than just what the word typically means.

I'm a leave-the-bathroom-door-open nudist, which is sometimes disconcerting for my friends.

We're taught to be ashamed of confusion, anger, fear and sadness, and to me they're of equal value to happiness, excitement and inspiration.
