I have a pirate fetish-I just always thought eye patches were sexy. If you want to get my attention, wear a pirate outfit.

I think I'm also more open to other writers being present and listening to other opinions, whereas before I was going through my angsty teen years while making records.

When I wake you're never there, but when I sleep you're everywhere.

I'm lucky because I have a job I love. I really miss being away from home, being in my own bed, seeing my animals and siblings, having my moms cookies. I have a couple cats. I got a kitten about a year ago and now Im going on the road so I wont see him for a while. I feel bad.

It hurts to want everything and nothing at the same time.

I put myself into character for my songs.

When I sing, I have a sense of peace, I feel like my brain turns off, and I become the core person of who I am - the essence of me. I feel connected to whatever is out there. It's almost like I leave my body and get to watch.
