The way I work, typically, I do everything at the very last minute. Even if I was given two months, I'd do it in the last three days

If I write when I'm low, it will be a dark song, but I don't care. I want to be honest with myself at all times.

I always like whatever I did most recently. It's the closest to who I am at the moment.

In the beginning, I was searching for myself in my music. My music was for me. I didn't have the mental room to be conscious of the listener; I wrote to save myself.

Music is my life, if I am without music or if I can't sing any more, I die, I'm nothing... because music is everything.

Everyone has a secret. Right? Of course I have a secret. I think maybe you too?

I understand it's my role to realize people's dreams. I'm O.K. with that so long as my songs are my own. No one can take my songs away from me.
