Sensitive, humbug. Everybody thinks I'm sensitive. Wait until they hear my new album.

I went to the High School for Performing Arts in New York for acting. I've studied it on and off for years and have done some theater and film.

It's a very worthy cause. This should happen, and I do believe that tenacity counts. Not going away matters.

When I was younger, I was kind of fearless. I think it takes more courage to do things when you know more. I was completely naive, and I was like, why can't I do anything I want to do? You know, go for it.

Today's records, even though they may be lyrically repetitive and not saying anything particularly heavy, they have energy.

I'm a songwriter first.

I just sort of try to be a good person; try to write music that lifts people and makes me feel good to sing.
