Songwriting isn't always something that's directly proportionate to the experience.

I grew up working at a record store and listening to vinyl. Even if it's side A and B, there's always this continuity that really turned me on about music.

I'm always flattered and honored when people cover my music or sing my songs, no matter where it is.

I'm in love with a girl who's in love with the world.

I'm not a mass-appeal artist.

Across the board, from my mother to my father to my aunts and uncles, everybody has always given me a lot of love.

Genre, to me, is not all that important, and it never has been.
