Age is relative. Experience is relative. And I think often intensity is confused with maturity.

My songs are not pretty. They're what I call optimistic realism.

My reaction to everything in life is when it gets a bit complicated to water it down and make it simple again.

I was an incredibly misanthrope. I couldn't relate to people my age, and I'm not sure why, as I wasn't particularly smart or interesting

Why fear death? Be scared of living.

I made an important decision, which was to pursue happiness. Rather than accept unhappiness. That's why I'm here, and it's great. I'm in a very good place in my life.

I feel like I'm creeping closer to finding the situation that triggers songwriting, which is obviously an extreme of an emotion.
