As long as the songs are strong, I think you can express yourself in any style and have it be soulful and have it be your own voice.

As a songwriter, I don't rush. I may sit on lyrics for two years before the music hits.

I get diminishing returns when I bore myself in an interview.

Love for me is my North Star. It's the highest form of grace. And I love that there's different levels and different ways of showing it, and different representations of it. Whether it's love shown to a stranger, love to a sibling, your child, your parents, your partner.

You're living life in real time, man, and we' ve got a good amount of work to do for each other. Hiding is not an option and you're going to step out and you're going to make mistakes.

They say time will make all this go away. But it's time that has taken my tomorrows and turned them into yesterdays.

The music is in the lead here, and a large part of this, I have no idea what I'm doing. I feel a closer bond with the craft of songwriting, stronger than I ever have.
