You need to get out of your comfort zone, return to the Midwest, see some family, and, as cheesy as it sounds, work the land - plant some trees, maybe take up watercolor.

Sometimes people think, "You don't get to have it all, you don't get to be happy, life's a struggle," but what if it's not?

I was toying with the idea of ambivalence a lot. It's something I work on, not being so invested in outcomes and being more engaged in the process of my life.

I'll always want to play and share my music with as many people as I can, but the emphasis is more on how do I find a happy place, what's my balance, what's my ideal.

I don't want to get into an argument at the bar with some old racist homophobic person.

Iowans are super talkative, like me. I'm very talkative. I'm very curious about strangers.

I'm very much a homebody so once I have my home set up how I want it, that's my zen, my comfy little nest where I drink my wine and watch my Netflix.
