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.

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

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.

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.

Don't forget that love is all you came here for, not anything less. Need I say more?

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

I'm a big believer in that old cliché of thinking globally and acting locally.
