Equality and separation cannot exist in the same space.

I love writing songs with people, which is about really taking risks, throwing yourself over the falls and really seeing what you're made of and seeing how it sticks. Seeing how others react to it, and seeing also how it can become a melody and how it can really take off from your experience. It's a way of seeing life unfold on the page before me.

The foolish idea that my music can actually make a difference in someone's life - that right there is proof that it's working. It makes me feel great, it really does.

Life can't work for you if you don't show up as you.

The measure of your character is not what you do when people are looking. It’s what you do when you think no one is looking.

My touring isn't about collecting souvenirs and always being on the go. My souvenirs are writing in my journal and creating new music, because that fits easily into my backpack when I'm travelling around the world. It's something that I can share later with fans or with future family members.

Timeless comes to mind. When you listen to it, you can't tell what year the thing was made. And you don't even care.
