As a lyricist, you love to hear other great lyrics or other great concepts.

Fear is not a part of my vocabulary, actually, and I think that it's really made me a much smarter, braver for sure, person.

I'm a very caring person.

I like to do outdoorsy things: hikes, trails, running, swimming. I love the sun. I'm all about the warmth.

My mother was raised very, very strict Catholic in the Midwest. There was so much fear and intimidation [in the faith]. So, growing up, I was always looking for my connection. I've found myself praying before meals, before bed; there's always been this gratitude for things that are bigger than me.

And Im happy that Im not super skinny.

I'm so grateful that I can play and that I can execute what I hear in my head, because that's the tricky part.
