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

Writing helps me process things that are happening to me.

My dad was depressed a lot of the time, and there were a lot of things in his life that he never resolved.

I think the reason I've been able to keep making music is because I'm not married, I don't have kids.

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

I'm able to see humor in a lot of things.

I love playing in front of people. I feel powerful, 'cause I don't have to really say anything - I'm just singing.
