I try to write songs just for the song itself. I don't try and think about where it's going to end up, that way you're writing for the good of the song.

I think of myself as more of a lover rather than a fighter, but sometimes you have to fight for what you love.

You want songs to sound cohesive with the other songs on the record but when you first start writing you just want to write to tell the truth.

I wanna be a part of the generation that throws out money, throws out time, throws out all that we are against something bigger than ourselves.

That's what life is, a continual state of journey. You are a river passing downstream.

Music is admitted under the skin without permission.

I look around and I know there's a lot in the world that I want to see changed - and I want to be a part of something bigger than myself. I want to see things change, in myself as much as in the world around me.
