I want to write songs with meaning. I have high standards for my work.

I think anyone who is an artist or writer or owns their own business or whatever can agree that when you come up with something on your own, it's an addictive feeling.

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.

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

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

Follow your heart and you won't get lost.

I can't really write unless I'm full of inspiration. And even then I can't write unless I have some alone time.
