As a musician, you never understand why people connect with certain songs.

If you haven't noticed so far, I think sleep is really important.

I love playing in Japan! It's always like being in the ancient past and the future at the same time. And the fans sing along to every word.

I try to get enough sleep and exercise, try not to make mountains out of molehills, and vent a lot. I have a good team to support my work. I also do lots of mundane things, which will center me.

I make sure to sleep eight hours, and I'm much better about eating, because I'm not standing in front of my pantry. I go to the market and pick up little carrot nubs.

I grew up with family who liked to travel and sightsee, so I have this pressure inside me: If I'm in a city and I have enough free time, I'd better go to a museum. I try to see parks, go outside. Or else try to feel really normal like go to Target or a drugstore, or go see a movie.

In order to handle my emotional pain I talk to friends about it, I write, I breathe, and most of all, I put it in perspective.
