I started writing songs so late and I had so many day jobs - jobs just to pay the bills. So, when I started doing this, I said, "I'm never gonna do anything to corrupt this. Never try to "sell it." Never gonna do anything to make this a job." I can go five months without writing a song. Then something will happen and I'll write six songs in a week.

If there's something that I really need to say that I can't say by speaking to someone, I usually write it in a song or a letter to someone.

Love is everything. Without it, I have no use for this world.

Love makes me feel vulnerable.

I write my songs usually while I'm walking around. Or in a car. Or in a bus, a plane, something like that. I jot down lyrics wherever I am. Usually it's on a vomit bag on an airplane or something. I just look for a pen.

We are all going through some sort of struggle, so I try to keep that in mind when someone makes me angry. I also know that being positive is a choice, and I try to make that choice every day.

I like to express myself creatively and it doesn't matter the medium. Whatever medium I choose at that moment, whatever works the best.
