I think I feel vulnerable most of the time. I feel on guard. I've gotten pretty good at putting my fists down and kind of allowing the world to be, so that I don't feel threatened as much.

When I play, I open up. I'm in the heat of the performance and it's a healing thing. It's great!

I feel vulnerable a lot interacting with human beings and being honest with people, and if I read their energy kind of not getting or shutting me down or this feeling of where we're not connecting, that's kind of a vulnerable place for me.

When I was a kid I just had headphones on all the time, and it changed the way I see things and the way I interpret things.

The thing that makes me feel most alive would be when I'm hanging out with my family and feeling my connection with them and feeling safe and content in that.

Staying present and staying myself in the midst of others is important.

Music for me is this thing that's sort of saved my life over the course of my whole life, whether it be writing songs or listening to other people's stuff.
