Music was always the distraction, so it was the obvious choice to pursue. My dad always said to find a job I love to do, that way it wouldn't feel like a job. So I did that.

There's no shame in being crazy.

There's a certain feeling of giving, a certain feeling of generosity in love songs. When you sing a song of love, you're actually giving something to yourself, too. You're singing and casting these affirmations of love out into the universe.

There's nothing more vulnerable than just standing in front of a thousand people, or ten thousand people, and doing your best to entertain them, touch them in some way.

I had never made a record before, so I didn't know anything about it. I don't know anything about knobs, frequencies, tones.

I do feel most at home playing live, but the feeling of getting into the studio to see the new songs take shape was really incredible.

Cause even the stars they burn, some even fall to the earth. We've got a lot to learn, God knows we're worth it.
