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

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

I sometimes write as if I were talking to myself, or to a mirror, or to someone for the last time. There's this element of confrontation.

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

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