Getting married and really digging in with another human being can point out your greatest strengths and your greatest weaknesses.
Mat KearneyIt's not the circumstances that determine who you're gonna be but how you deal with these problems and pains that come your way.
Mat KearneyI 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.
Mat KearneyJust 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.
