I have always wanted to do an acoustic record from the very beginning of my career. I was a coffeeshop artist where everything I did was acoustic.

I didn't want to be a headshot and get a chance to go compete to sing-that's not me.

There's no shame in being crazy.

It's when you cry just a little, but you laugh in the middle that you've made it.

I would enjoy doing what cats do: singing, sleeping, and licking my nuts.

My parents were always very supportive and accepting. They even shared my curiosity for life, or perhaps I theirs.

Genre-spanning is the effort to make the live show interesting. It's also a great way to challenge yourself as a writer.
