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

As an artist, you just want to keep creating, keep finding a place that really inspires you that feels fresh and new and keep it exciting.

If you make people think they're thinking they'll like you, but if you make people actually think, then watch out, you're not going to be popular.

Getting married and really digging in with another human being can point out your greatest strengths and your greatest weaknesses.

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.

I never play all new stuff, because you got to "dance with the girl that brought you" what is that saying? You got to play the songs that got you there, so I love playing the songs from my very first record.

Don't apologize for all the tears you've cried, you've been way too strong now for all your life.
