I wasn't interested in writing music that wasn't beautiful for me to listen to.

We deserve to know light. And grow evermore lighter and lighter.

I have a lot of interest in interior rhyming; not just rhyming at the end of the lines, but playing around with rhymes within the lines, playing with where the syllabic emphases in the sentences are, lining those up at strange moments in the line of the song. I’m not sure if that comes across or not.

Never get so attached to a poem that you forget truth that lacks lyricism.

Around eighth grade I decided I wanted to be a composer and that's what I went to college for. Just a few years back, I switched out of composition and into creative writing so I could work with words.

I have a deep rooted folk sensibility that I can't get away from completely.

There are some mornings when the sky looks like a road.
