I say to myself, sometimes the tide is just out. But it always comes back in again.

Words can crush things that are unseen.

I used to love reading when I was little, and then it became difficult and I didn't understand why. I thought, what a bummer, my passion all drained out of me. So when I found out I had dyslexia, it was like, oh, that's what it was.

Music has given me a career. But even if it doesn't become yours it teaches you confidence and allows you to express your creativity.

Amazingly, I've been sort of an anomaly in the music industry. I feel like I've been able to exist as kind of a throwback artist.

I have a life that I enjoy; I try and value the things that I think are worth valuing and everything else is icing. You know, it is a kick to go down the red carpet in that dress and then you go back home.

I don't see the world unless I see it in ink.
