Driving, for me, means power and freedom. The feeling that I can go anywhere I want at any time is exhilarating.

It's not a very sane thing to try to be great all the time.

I'm really depressing. Some people watch comedy to relax. I watch 21 Grams. I can recognize sadness and tragedy really easily because it's been with me forever.

Of course, there are a lot of things I'm angry about in the world.

After you've been wounded a few times, it's hard to let somebody get that deep again.

I relate to hustlers who want to get out of where they are and create something different for themselves.

I want to do a stripped-down album. That style is actually where my heart is - storytelling and just letting the voice and the lyrics talk for themselves. I still want to write the perfect song and sing it in the most honest, undressed way. But I feel like I have to gather more experiences and more layers in my voice. I have to live more to be able to tell this tale. So I'm saving my folk record. I have a feeling nobody will understand it.
