There's a marketing scheme that tells you that pregnancy and child rearing will make you into a moron, that your kids are only happy when you're buying them stuff. It's hard being a parent, but I laugh a lot and smile a lot and really enjoy it. The ratio of laughter to sadness is higher. There's part of me that wants to broadcast that. Parenting only affirmed what I already cared about, and that's good.

The only I would say is a little different is when I know my parents are in the audience. That's never going to be the same as another concert.

How I long to fall just a little bit, to dance out of the lines and stray from the light.

Sometimes I see myself fine, sometimes I need a witness. And I like the whole truth, but there are nights I only need forgiveness.

I think the music was speaking to that opening up of whose voice gets heard and how multidimensional that voice can be.

When we learn about ourselves, we can evolve.

The very best thing you can do is to try to write a song that has some sort of impact.
