The fate of a song is often established in the first 15 minutes of writing.

I don't have a girlfriend. No, I don't. I haven't had a relationship in years, actually. But yeah, I'm still looking. It's kind of nice to be looking for a home at the same time.

I realized I needed to work with other people instead of doing everything myself.

I didn't have a home in the world, so I wanted a home in a person. I felt like I had found that, and then it was taken away from me.

I had a period in my life when I was eight or nine when I was so scared of dying that I wouldn't go out of our house for a whole year.

I think the cynicism that you have when you've just gone through a break-up is a luxury that you allow yourself for a while.

I was trying to actively get away from music, I guess. But I recorded a whole bunch of instrumental piano songs.
