I'm sure that the meaning of the songs that I've written will change for me over the years, the same way that I can't even say what inspired some of the songs that I've been singing for a long time anymore.

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.

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

The family that raised me are awesome people and they are my mother and my father and my brother and my sister. I've never viewed them as these "strangers" that took over. It's never been this crazy, dramatic, Lifetime-movie situation. It's been chill.

Different cultures have different audiences.

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

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