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

Every song brings back memories, like I remember where I wrote all these songs. 'Universal Heartbeat' was my apartment in New York City. 'My Sister' was at my apartment in Boston. I remember places and I remember what I was thinking when I wrote 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 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.

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've finally learned to love my voice for its uniqueness.

My songs are about not knowing who to be and not knowing how to act.
