I'm consumed by the chill of solitary.

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

Oh these little rejections how they add up quickly, one small sideways look and I feel so ungood. Somewhere along the way I think I gave you the power to make me feel the way I thought only my father could.

I don't believe in bad. I believe in relativity. The only way we can know what we call good is if there's also something we call bad.

Your choice of armor was your intellect.

When I was 11 years old and I was on a road trip with my family. I turned to my dad and said, "Do you believe in Adam and Eve?" And he said he didn't think so. I remember that felt like a slap in the face, because if my parents questioned Adam and Eve, then they potentially questioned everything within Catholicism. Eventually that idea led to my feeling liberated, but at that time it was very scary.

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