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'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.

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

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

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

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.
