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

In a lot of senses, things are definitely changing in my life, and with what's going on around me. But I still feel like the writing process is as intimate as it as before, if not more. Because I need my time more than I had before.

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

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

I wasn't an only child, but I was the youngest, and no one else in my family played music.

The family that raised me are awesome people and they are my mother and my father and my brother and my sister. I've never viewed them as these "strangers" that took over. It's never been this crazy, dramatic, Lifetime-movie situation. It's been chill.

A lot of people ask me if I'm OK. I'm capable of crazy - a lot of people are - but I'm OK.
