Things aren't always as they appear. I've been believing things to be a certain way because I want them to be that way. I build up illusions in my head.

I don't wanna limit myself to anything, but I eat like a vegetarian and I eat mostly raw.

I think food is the great equalizer. Other than the ocean and the air, food is the thing that we all share in common. I think along with that comes the question of why are some people starving, and why do some people produce more food than they need, and why is food going to waste.

Bringing up issues that are hard to deal with is a challenge for me, and I think that's what draws me to song writing.

I think the two biggest issues are world hunger and health, and all the things that stem from bad food.

Songs don't really feel like me unless I somehow shed a little secret or open myself somehow or be vulnerable. When I'm singing these songs, it feels like me, and that comes with the vulnerabilities and the strengths and the moments of triumph or whatever.

Being a songwriter or a painter you're definitely facing your fears. You're facing your fears because you're speaking your truth; you're speaking from your heart. That's something that's not easy to do, you set yourself up for all sorts of criticism or vulnerability but that's why we do it.
