I'm into lately being a little less precious about writing and being like, "Okay, what if I just locked myself in my room, pretend that there's someone outside with a gun that's saying, 'Don't come out until you write something.'"

Most of the songs that I appreciate are lyrically vague.

I think I'm still a little too intense for my own good sometimes.

There is something comforting about going into a practice room, putting your sheet music on a stand and playing Bach over and over again.

It's not set in stone. I like to keep it rolling and changing, and so I am like, "Great, I get to remake my song."

The real drag is trying to fly from country to country, day of show, with all your gear. You get hassled all the time. It's hard trying to keep it together.

People who are thinking about your music almost as much as you are, that almost never happens.
