It's always been hard for me to do without sounding precious or too corny or whatever.

I don't want to beat people over the head with my political views. It's more about the humanitarian aspect of it.

You should put time into learning your craft. It seems like people want success so quickly, way before they're ready.

I'm in a contented, loving relationship, but that doesn't mean I'm not struggling with other things that are going on around me in the world.

I usually have an idea of how I want a song to sound, but I don't always know how to get there

So few people are truly themselves when they're in the spotlight.

Believe it or not, people went so far as to suggest that I might not be able to write songs anymore because now I am married. I tried to explain again that there are other things to write about besides boy meets girl, girl meets boy, boy breaks up with girl, girl is sad.
