Like, I kind of developed my musical style in a vacuum. Even though I listen to a lot of stuff, the way I wrote was in my bedroom, really privately. It's still the way I write, actually.

I am comfortable performing now. I love it!

I'm really happy with my life now, but there's a lot of stuff I feel very sad about in ways I can't even control.

There's even more stuff that I'd like to release, but I'm scared to, that's really, um, nerdy... not nerdy in a good way. Like, silly.

People hang their hopes on you fitting into their CD collection in way that they have made a space for, but I'm playing a longer game than that.

I can't say I don't get nervous, but I really kind of enjoy performing now.

Wearing a veneer of perfection never did me any good.
