You want to create things as purely as possible without allowing the universe to interfere so much that it's manipulating it and making things unreal to you.

I'm not trying to prove that I'm capable of doing many things.

I've been writing a lot of songs in twos, songs that are like twins in my mind.

I'm letting the songs breathe and change and become what they are without force.

Music is the first thing I ever cared greatly about. I've been singing and writing songs since I was six or seven.

I'd rather people interpret the songs and get whatever they can out of them instead of thinking about me crying in a room with a guitar.

There's a lot of expectation after you do something that seems to have been well received. It's kind of unfair.
