Considering our history, I can think of nothing more American than an immigrant.

I'm happy just because I found out I am really no one

The sound of loneliness makes me happier.

I like to feel the burn of the audience's eyes when I'm whispering all my darkest secrets into the microphone.

The worst thing you can do as an artist is to repeat yourself.

And in the morning when the sun rise. Look in the water, see the blue sky. As if heaven has been laid there at our feet.

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.
