It's very important to enjoy time alone with yourself and just existing, because existence is kind of cool.

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

I just want to scream: "I'm being honest, I swear!" Maybe it's embarrassing, but I don't care anymore.

You get to a certain age and it really occurs to you: "My mother and my father will not always be here. My spouse or my girlfriend or boyfriend are here right now, but someday they won't be." You realize that you need to like yourself.

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!

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.
