I've always been in this sort of perpetual state of existential longing. I feel like something's missing.

I feel some kind of duty to be really, really honest as a writer. The same is true of my songwriting.

How can I shield myself from the things that I hear?

I'd just like to inspire people to be themselves and do what they want and not conform to the rigid guidelines of the music or entertainment business.
