The most important thing is writing songs that resonate and giving people a chance to listen to them.

I don't worry so much about whether people are buying my music or getting it for free.

In many ways my writing is like therapy. It is my way of dealing with things.

I just try to stay honest with myself and in doing that I feel like the songs are going to resonate.

There are a lot of people who talk about a formula for being able to start a fan base. But for me, it's been about songs and just being hard on myself as a writer, feeling like there is a purpose to it all.

I find that it is useless to worry about things I can't control and I can't control how many people come out tonight. All I can do is focus on writing the best songs I can write and performing the best I can perform.

I believe that people want to hear good songs and they want to be moved.
