I always embrace the worst-case scenario.

You should never be embarrassed by your trouble with living, because it's the ones with the sorest throats who have done the most singing.

I understand why people get desensitized and roll their eyes when they hear a protest song, or even a politician making some flowery speech. It doesn't really change anything.

I kind of go in waves with reading. Sometimes I read all the time, and sometimes I can't get settled enough to focus.

There's a lot of optimism in changing scenery, in seeing what's down the road.

I think different musical collaborators bring out different qualities in my songs and I like that.

And I sing and sing of awful things The pleasure that my sadness brings.
