Depression runs in my family on both sides, and I have to be wary.

My songs are like my children - I expect them to support me when I'm old.

My nails are my rhythm section when I'm writing a song all alone. Some day, I may cut an album, just me and my nails.

I say, 'Yeah, Taylor Swift.' I think she is a smart, beautiful girl. I think she's making all the right moves. She's got a good head on her shoulders. She's surrounded with wonderful people. Her songs are great. She keeps herself anchored. She knows who she is, and she's living and standing by that.

I have to not harden my heart, because I want to stay open to feel things.

Leave something good in every day.

We're afraid to live, because we're afraid of dying.
