I get asked if I mind when someone burns my music. I'm just flattered that people want to.

I think people just want to hear good songs and I just want to keep getting better as a writer so that I can deliver good songs.

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

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

When I deal with my struggles in my songs, I feel like most people are going to identify with my struggles because they are essentially dealing with the same things.

I believe that most people aren't that different from one another. Although we might appear to be different on the surface, I think ultimately we all go through the same struggles.

I write very personal songs. Subject matter is usually derived from some internal struggle that I am having.
