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.

Follow your heart and you won't get lost.

I also love fall, when it starts to rain, or even just before the rain - that is the most inspiring thing.

I used to want to be fully observational, but I'm just not that kind of writer. My process always changes depending on how, when, and where inspiration stiles me.

I can write songs, but I'm not gonna really feel good about the song unless it feels like me, and I'm not gonna release a song or put it on an album or play it in concert unless it really feels like me.

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

It's usually kids that normally don't have a chance to get to meet each other because they're separated by millions of different things.
