I saw a picture of myself when I came out of the hospital. I didn't recognize myself.

I write songs about stuff that I can't really get past personally - and then I write a song about it and I feel better.

I've always written poetry but I didn't realise it was a therapy for me until I was maybe 15. That's when my singing started to come together as well because I was listening to so much jazz. What I love I will always embrace.

I love to live and I live to love.

To be honest, I think kids have got a lot more going on than adults. They've got their heads screwed on a lot better.

If you play an instrument, it makes you a better singer. The more you play, the better you sing, the more you sing, the better you play.

I always wrote poetry and stuff like that, so putting songs together wasn't that spectacular.
