I'm craving more soul, I'm craving more truth, I'm craving more socially - just people that are aware of what's going on in the world.

You have to be careful when it comes to copyrights, whether just sounding like or feeling like something is enough to say you violated their copyrights because there's a lot of music out there, and there's a lot of things that feel like other things that are influenced by other things. And you don't want to get into that thing where all of us are suing each other all the time because this and that song feels like another song.

I wrote the song "Show Me" as a prayer to God asking simple, honest questions about life and death and why there is so much suffering in the world. As I grew with the song I realized I shouldn't limit these questions solely to God; I should ask those questions of others and of myself.

For me, no matter how much money you want to make off of singing, no matter what kind of fame you want to make, achieve, the most important thing to me is making music that you're proud of, making music that comes from you, comes from an authentic place in you.

I always saw myself as a singer-songwriter, a solo-artist, that's why working with other artists was never satisfying for me.

I'm pretty adventurous with food, so I'm not afraid to try anything.

When we see people that are impoverished and people who are dealt an unfair hand, then if we have the power to help them, we should try to do that.
