I have some vivid memories of walking around as a child with a cassette tape.

Sometimes my hands they don’t feel like my own; I need someone to love, I need someone to hold.

I do not think good art comes from comfort. While from a humanistic standpoint I would have much rather been at my home that I own, surrounded by friends and family and controlling my environment completely.

The idea of trying to predict what people will or won't respond to is risky.

What we understand to be profoundness, or importance, it changes. It should change. It should be this moment where you cannot believe that equalled grandness or importance.

Its always important to fall back on your instincts and core beliefs and that was pretty hard for me to do but trusting in my self the way I trusted that if I were to sit at a piano for two hours and I was going learn something, that trust I'd put in myself really helped me get through it. For five to six months I just wrote songs and believed they would turn out to be things I could be proud of and be happy.

With music, it feels natural that, in my head, I can pull things apart and then put them back together very quickly.
