Inspiration comes from everywhere always. But it's strongest in love and in its absence.

There are no rules or certain methods. I usually start with the guitar or piano and sing melodies over the chords. The lyrics seem to be born out of that, and the fact that it's still a mystery to me is my favorite part.

There's a weird period of learning how to play guitar where your fingers are constantly messed up a handful.

I want to build a treehouse village connected by bridges in the woods by my house so my friends have a place to stay.

I think every tour stop on the west coast is equally rewarding for me. There is something healing about the air and the light in the west.

Even before I started writing songs, that was one of my goals to be a writer, and I still have that goal. I've just gotten sidetracked.

On tour I'm finding out that I am half gypsy, 40% vagabond, and 10 house cat.
