It's very important to have a good song - one where you can strip away all the production and just play it on guitar or at the piano. It has to hold its own. That's why I've put videos online with acoustic versions of my songs, so you can hear them in their original form.

Since becoming a mother, I'd say it's more so affected my general outlook on things. I'm less worried about everything.

I need to be happy.

You just keep going. Nothing that isn't beautiful is worth slowing down for.
