It's a bit of a weird thing to know that (my music) has translated to that many people.

I don't believe people when they say their songs have nothing to do with their personal life.

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.

Go and experience life the way that someone else might experience it. Maybe you'll find meaning in a different corner of your brain. The fact that it changed doesn't negate the fact that it ever mattered.

Share yourself with others after you have first spent some time with yourself.

If you can't be psyched about your own thoughts, then how are you supposed to have a meaningful interaction with anyone?

I don't know what folk music means anymore, because the meaning of that just keeps changing.
