You go through life experiences. Each record captures a different turning point in my life.

I don't want to impress, I want to inspire.

It's not the case of turning in a bunch of songs and recording the next month. I think you're looking for songs all year long and you're writing all year long.

Youre always in a different headspace when you make each record, so hopefully theyre all different. You just pick up things that you wish you hadnt done on the first one.

If I knew what I was doing, I'd be doing it right now. I would be the best damn poet, silver words out of my mouth. My words might not be magic, but they cut straight to the truth. So if you need a lover and a friend, baby, I'm in.

And now you've lost the only thing that ever made you feel alive.

Raw is a good place for an artist. It's where the truth comes out.
