I always tell people I write songs, but I'm a writer. It's a difference. I can write songs to music, but I can write a story. I can see ideas spark in me.

I'm a songwriter who just wants to bring people great songs.

Artists aren't looking for you to write them something; they're looking for you to give them something new.

I'm young. You can't just sit there and be satisfied.

I wasn't comfortable on stage for years. It was good - 18 shows. I want to do it again.

I have a thing - I call it magic - but I feel like I can write stuff down in the middle of the night and wake up and it happens. I write what I want in my journal.

I try to reach for the stars because if you say you want something small and it happens, you don't believe it. So I try to say something wild and crazy.
