I feel like a quote out of context, withholding the rest so I can be for you what you want to see.

I do have that mindset - that most good art comes from some turmoil, from someone trying to come to some equilibrium, or come up and get a breath.

Everyone, when you're a teenager and you're growing up, you do feel like your life is dramatic enough to be on a TV screen, but we know that it's not.

You can't really control how people hear stuff. It's hard to remember that. I have to let go of it.

I start songs all the time. If I weren't so lazy, I would finish them. It's like when I have a deadline I have to. I always feel very lucky that I am forced to make records at certain times. If I was forced to make 2 records a year, I would write twice as many songs. I can't make myself finish something unless I am forced

The reason I stop playing songs is usually because I get sick of them, and then they find themselves back into the set list at some point.

You never know when you put out an album that's unique whether it'll get beat up for it or not.
