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.

When I started out making music I thought it was about thrills and adding layers, but I realized I want to focus on saying the most with the least.

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.

I like what I like, I don't like what I don't like, and I'm very bad at toning myself down.

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

I approach every show from the same fundamental perspective: this is a conversation, and my job is to make people leave the show feeling like they've seen something singular. It's not about smashing someone over the head from the jump-off.

I was never a 'sit down with a notepad and write lyrics' kind of person.
