I think I'm just trying to be myself and write songs that are honest. That's what I hear in artist's that I like.

You make beautiful things, You make beautiful things out of the dust

I don't want everybody to try to sound like something; I think that God has given us each unique talents and passions. The things that come out of me will be different than my neighbor, because I have a totally different set of relationships, totally different set influences and personality traits.

The noise around us determines how we speak. And how we listen. Just as a conversation suffers in a war zone, art suffers in a culture built on noise. So does our enjoyment of it.

Spend your energy on things you believe in, and do them honestly and to the best of your ability.
