I learned how to be more theatrical and have more fun, and to take a song and sing it over and over again in different ways, and make it different each time. I'm not just singing the song - it's this thing that's affecting me.

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

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

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.

My first ever tour of my music was in the Netherlands. I didn't really have a grace period to grow or anything, people just started booking for me. I feel pretty lucky.

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

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.
