We have the ability to manifest our thoughts: to actually say something and express what our feelings are. That, then, transforms the world and puts something into action.

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.

To create an album of love, I really had - I thought it was going to be easy, because I've always written love songs. But I thought if I really want to make a love album that contributes, that actually means something, I've got to go deep.

Open up your plans and damn you're free!

My goal is to show everyone that they, too, can do what they love to do.

I basically had the idea when I was 18 that I wanted to write my own songs. I knew it was going to be a long, tough road, and I was like, if I just begin now, by the time I'm 40, I'll be good at it.

Open up your heart and the sky is yours.
