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.

People should know each other because they want to, because they have things in common.

I guess that in a lot of ways, my writing is more of a character to me than something that I feel personally attached to.

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

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

My family life, my adoption - it could be related to the songs, but I think the songs are deeper than that. They're not just about this experience.

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