Well, I try not to think about the general public since I have no idea what the general public is and I don't think anybody does.

I just wanted to move out of Portland to do something.

I'm happy some of the time, and some of the time I'm not. But like when I see a movie, for example, that I really like, that moves me or whatever, it's usually happy and sad at the same time.

I wondered if I would talk about drug use. But I guess, why hide it?

All your secret wishes could right now be coming true.

I think the music business will eventually crush me, but I [smiles]... I'm ready.

I think the suggestion that all my songs are personal is insulting because that assumes that I have a bunch of issues that I feel the need to unload on strangers. That is not the case. It also assumes that I just talk about myself the whole time which, again, is not true.
