I feel like I write the same album every time but each time I try to convey the message more simply.

I try not to write songs. I would rather emote them, and I found myself going back to my room every night while on my trip, just pouring out new songs and new stories about what I was seeing, what I was feeling.

EVERYTHING is love, so the only thing that's not love is our resistance to love, is us trying to be separate from the world.

When hands are joined, no one can point fingers.

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.

I've always used songwriting as a way to help me organise reality.

I recently read that it's the left brain that does all that calculating, and the right brain that does the poetry. Somehow I've veered way towards the left. I've been doing it for years. Maybe I do art to balance it out.
