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

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

I listen to tapes a lot. I have a car that only (has a cassette player). I like the nostalgic factor.

It's hard to force a relationship with a stranger even if they happen to be someone you happen to share blood with.

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.

In the music industry, it's pretty easy to make an album just because you want to keep going, like, 'This is the formula.' But the formula is your life. You have to live your life and you have to live it well - that's the formula.
