Writing songs is no different than explaining to somebody what you dreamed last night: No one ever gives you crap for what you dreamed last night. "I was laying in my bed, and all of a sudden a stallion jumped on my bed and the next thing I know I was in Mars but it looked like my kitchen"... That's kind of what I do with my songs, write them in a dream-like manner. It's up to people to swallow it however they want.

To create an album of 12 songs, I've got to write about 80 songs. Half of those are totally weird and rubbish.

I write my miserable songs. I write songs about disgust and self-pity. We’re all going to have bummer moments. That’s not the stuff I choose to share.

It's through my health that I'm able to maintain that every single day and keep light in people until I'm actually of service to others.

My parents dreaded the fact that I was changing my life to do this, but I just kept doing it.

I love the sound of the wind in the trees and the song of the birds and the shuffle in the leaves of my many woodland friends.

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