I like garage band for writing because you only have crayons and there are only five crayons in the box. Your choices are limited and I find that to be very good for me.

I am really pleased to hear each of my songs described as a total surprise. This is what I want!

I think I have come across as "unafraid" because I really cannot control what comes through me in my writing.

I learned how to have a little bit of distance when I explained songs and a little bit of distance when I wrote them. I think this is more interesting any way in art.

As a listener, I like a wide range of sounds.

I started to understand what the song could be about. The ache of nostalgia even for things we don't like, the commitment to keep moving despite that ache. It made me think of how I relate to my privilege - as a white person, as someone who grew up upper middle class.

I wanted to touch on the piece where often politicians use "god" to excuse their actions.
