I love when people are coming up and they're working hard and you can see that they're really focused on the process to their music. I really dig that. As a musician, it's nice to see people who really care about the process.

You need a strong sense of 'otherness' to be able to create in your life.

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 don't know anything about music theory at all. Zero. But I don't really need to.

I don't really know that there's any real rules for songwriting.

I'm not a mass-appeal artist.
