I would hate to make music and people love me for something that isn't me.

Moments are so fleeting; I want to hold on to the good ones.

Life is going to be a constant peeling back of layers, a constant unlearning of what we've been taught or believe to be true. I think that I've come to terms with the fact that that's just going to happen for the whole duration of my life. I feel really good about being able to look myself in the face and say, "Oh, who are you now?" And that might change.

I don't think even when you find a person, you can be completely honest, ever. There's still pieces of you that you don't give away. I do believe you always need that place where it's just you, your thoughts, no one else's judgment or anything.

What breaks my heart is suffering of any kind.

I grew up in a pretty tough neighborhood.

It's not until I hear songs that I've done, that I realize how much of an inspiration music from the '60s and '70s has been.
