Songs really tend to connect.

The songs that you start to write that you are a little scared of can be the ones that you have to tell.

I love creating. I am addicted to the drug of creation and creating things. I get a little depressed when I am struggling to find what I know is locked inside. If it's a lyric or something that is challenging me, I can be very depressed, but when it's like heaven opens up and it gives you a song, it's amazing. There's nothing else that I enjoy more probably.

Just because you've written a song doesn't mean that you have pulled through. There are definitely songs where I embodied someone else's pain and that was purely to serve the listener because I knew they needed to hear something. But most of the good stuff comes from my life.

Life's too short to stay where we are.

I love being vulnerable. It's scary. I feel like the best stuff that I have ever written can come from real vulnerable places.

The stories that are too personally vulnerable to write are the ones that must be told.
