Actually, I caught myself thinking that I was hoping for someone to break into my apartment and steal my computer, or a big fire would take place in my apartment, or thinking of uninstalling my firewall so someone could hack into my computer. I just had all these dreams and eventually realized what I needed to do was delete the songs because I really wasn't happy with them. I needed a fresh beginning.

I wanted the album to be aerodynamic, like an airplane taking off from a runway - all of a sudden you're in the air.

I think all of my songs are either based on personal experience or will be based on personal experience, because I do write a lot of songs prophetically.

It's time to find someplace where I feel like it's home.

I wanted to create a more spontaneous outlet for my songwriting to have alongside the more long-winded process of making an album. I wanted to have some fun.

When I performed the songs in front of an audience at the end of each project and I knew the storytellers were in the crowd listening, that was hard.
