I was really inspired while I was pregnant and I wrote a whole album for my baby. I wanted to write a kids album that didn't annoy parents. I used The Beatles 'Rocky Raccoon' as sort of a starting place for my writing.

I find you get out of people what you put into them.

It's important to cultivate a tolerance and patience with uncomfortable feelings. It's best to feel them.

I’m somebody who, as a child, had a lot of insecurity about stable housing, where I was going to be living, if I was going to have a roof over my head, all those types of things. And I know the impact it can have on you psychologically and emotionally.

I grew up doing live tours and playing in bars, so it was what I love to do.

I love vulnerability. It's what keeps me soft and from becoming emotionally calcified.

It's really fun to see young kids trying to find excellence in themselves.
