I get a little sick of myself as a solo artist. I get a little bit bored.

I was just dying to get out of my twenties.

Songwriting is like editing. You write down all this stuff - all this bad, stupid stuff - and then you have to get rid of everything except the very best.

I don't think I'm romantic at all. I have a lot of faith in the right thing happening. I don't really hope for a lot of particulars, I just have faith that the right thing will happen most of the time.

My music - that's the one area I won't let myself be pushed around. But in other parts of my life, I'm a confused mess.

Doing interviews can sometimes mess up my head. It makes me feel dirty. It's frustrating how the press recycles a quote to death.

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