Sometimes I'll hit a note and sometimes I don't. Why not at least try?

I don't know what folk music means anymore, because the meaning of that just keeps changing.

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.

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!

If, you know, all your life you're making films or whatever, and somehow along the way you lose meaning in whatever you're doing when you're making the films, they're just not the same as they used to be to you. That doesn't mean your life is over; it just means maybe go try to live a different life.

You want to create things as purely as possible without allowing the universe to interfere so much that it's manipulating it and making things unreal to you.

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.
