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

I enjoy singing the songs a certain way, but I don't even know how the writing even began. To me, it's work that is kind of invisible; it's a weird kind of work to have because you're not working, but it's not not work. Formulating your thoughts and making a melody that's catchy enough for people to listen to what you're saying is really hard!

Share yourself with others after you have first spent some time with yourself.

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.

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

In high school I was in a band called Goodfight, but it was more me running around on stage. It was very punk inspired. Then I started to get into indie-rock and older music and decided I wanted to write my own stuff. I quit the band. Around 16 or 17, I started recording myself at home on keyboard and piano.

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