I love being creative, and for me it doesn't matter what it is - whether it's art or music or just daydreaming.

What I strive to do with songwriting is be really honest, authentic and try to be open and share that with people. I choose that over trying to be clever, poetic, or lyrical.

I think everybody, no matter what they eat, they should eat at least fifty percent raw food. But I eat some seafood.

When you get to say something in a song you're not directing it necessarily at one person. When it's in a song it's easier to get it out. I don't really worry so much about it when I'm writing a song.

Paul Simon is my absolute hero. He's one of a kind. He wrote his own ticket in life by being himself.

A sunny, happy day is beautiful, but when it's moody, and storm is coming, there's an energy in the air.

I guess it's just my job to somehow balance knowing that every song is going to come differently and be different, but also know that, on the other hand, I am a songwriter and I am a craftsman, and I do have a craft and a technique and a method. So I need to balance the technique and the method.
