I mean, there'll always be room for big productions and everything but it's good to see the other side.

I try to speak of a love that not necessarily romantic. I think there is so much love between people and so much love people want to give but it's harder and harder these days to show that, to celebrate that, you know?

I mean, there'll always be room for big productions and everything but it's good to see the other side.

I was so shy and so quiet, and the only time I had my own voice and I could really connect with people was when I was singing or on stage.

I don't know if I was as ambitious as to change the world, but I do feel like - the reason why I called the album "Our Version of Events" was that I feel a lot of people are not represented in pop music and popular culture.

From when I was a kid I wanted to write. It was so important to me that I was writing my own material.

I think on the first album, my aim was to write a good song and have a good melody, and I wanted lyrics that would connect with as many people as possible. On the second album, I took a lot more of a personal approach. I wasn't trying to make conventional, structured songs; I was really trying to get a lot of emotion and my own personal journey throughout it. I just focused more on being honest than getting the normal song structure down.
