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.

People that come to my shows are definitely people that feel outsiders. They feel like I don't feel sexy, I don't feel like - I can't go out every night on Friday and I can't connect to that, and I feel so much pressure to do that.

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

Anytime I write something that's trying to be too smart, it doesn't work.

I was very quiet until I got at the piano, and weekends, lunch breaks, after school, before school, I was just making music.

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?

Songwriting is my main thing. I know that I'll do that for the rest of my life.
