Emotionally, it was the hardest 33 days of my life, but it was worth it because the result is that this album is 100 percent me. It’s heartfelt, real, bold, honest, vulnerable, hopeful, strong, poetic, bluesy, gritty, pretty, and simple.

I'm only human, and I bleed when I fall down.

I try to get through emotional pain and not go around it, it always ends sooner that way. I also use chocolate.

My earliest memories as a child are listening to Beatles records, and they are a big part of how I've learned to write pop songs.

Do what scares you, your dreams are there waiting for you.

It's all going to be okay.

I have died everyday, waiting for you.
