I make music and I can't stop. It's a compulsion and an obsession and a curse.

I'm just trying to get rid of all the mystery surrounding me and let people see what I'm thinking. So they can understand me and stop assuming things about me.

A heart that hurts is a heart that works.

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

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

I'm kind of an emotional exhibitionist.

If life is a performance, and I am not an actor, am I supposed to lie down and die?
