I never had any big dreams about doing something on a huge scale.

Lyrics are kind of the whole thing; it's the message. Something might have a beautiful melody but if it's not the truth coming out of your mouth, it's not appealing

That's what I love. Not being interrupted, sitting in a car by myself and listening to music in the rain. There are so many great songs yet to sing

I don't look for bliss, just contentment.

It's impossible to make a record when you're ill because it affects how you listen to things. You can't make decisions. It all sounds terrible.

My parents made us do everything, try everything.

Some things feel really good to sing: there's a physical aspect, but there's more to it - a deeper place you go to.
