It makes me feel good to have some comforting effect on someone that needs comfort.

I see a long lost home in his eyes. He sees a nice hotel in mine.

If you want to achieve things in life, you've just got to do them, and if you're talented and smart, you'll succeed.

I'm kind of an emotional exhibitionist.

Songwriting is like going to church. I'm connecting to something, and it's rewarding in really important ways. I don't need to share it with anyone to feel good about it.

Music is so hard. It's a struggle to get people to care. It's hard to make an impact in today's world because people aren't buying records anymore.

I'm not a very good advice-giver.
