I sometimes write as if I were talking to myself, or to a mirror, or to someone for the last time. There's this element of confrontation.

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

I feel really good about the future and working with people.

I just want to scream: "I'm being honest, I swear!" Maybe it's embarrassing, but I don't care anymore.

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.

I was adopted legally around age three, but it's not like this thing I think about when I wake up every day. I was adopted by my foster parents, so I was comfortable with them. I wasn't in this alien place.

I know it sounds so lame, but the songs are like my children.
