When I'm trying to write a song for someone else, you can only see anything through your own eyes.

I have been singing as long as I can remember. I used to be in choir; I used to do musical theater. I'd prefer not to sing my own songs, but there you have it.

I don't think anyone knows anything and I don't trust people who say that they do. Don't give me a plan, give me action.

Try to keep your mind. Try not to eat bad, try not to wake up with too bad of a hangover.

People just wanna see someone talking about themselves constantly. I'm not interested in that.

Bringing the individual into it music only distracts from the universal and makes it trivial. And then it's easy to wash your hands of it because you might not be from their background, or you might disagree with their personal perspective. So you discount it and go back into your corner instead of coming out and engaging with everything.

I've always been interested in an idea of boundless love - an impersonal, big love.
