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.

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

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

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

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

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

Life's too short to stay where we are.
