There are people who can sit down and write a song about any given subject, and they can do it really, really well.

There's this unspoken thing that you have to wear a tux and some kind of nice dress. There are all these ethical rules, but I'm sure if you came to the Oscars in ripped jeans and a t-shirt they wouldn't throw you out. You would just look like a fool.

You know, when I was a kid waiting on the bus, I remember that was when I imagined my life. I imagined everything that I was gonna be when I grew up and I imagined all of these amazing journeys and amazing people Id meet. Of course, all of it has kind of come to fruition.

I busked from the age of 13 until I was 18.

I only ever really take out my guitar when I'm miserable, which isn't necessarily a very good time to do it.

You know, albums are a funny thing. They're not like an intellectual decision. It's a collection of your kind of musings.

Well, everything about singing, I learned from busking. Everything I learned about songwriting, I learned from busking.
