If you're a novelist, you have sort of themes that run throughout novels. You start a novel and you finish a novel. With record-making in the singer-songwriter world or whatever it is that I do, it's a little different because there is no specific arc that is necessarily, like it's not a concept record.

I live a pretty anonymous life.

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

I love what I do, so I don't mind working.

People love music, they're always going to love music, it's our job to consistently push ourselves as artists to keep delivering stuff for people to stay engaged with.

I don't know anyone who is a writer who isn't influenced by the relationships in their life.

I'm not afraid to be bluntly honest in my songs, even if it means I'm discovering things about myself that I'd rather not.
