Touring is a favorite part of what I do. I love connecting with the fans in that immediate way.

I finally feel content with my work. My fruit has started to ripen. I'm able to dissect emotion properly and distill it into a song that reverberates in a truthful place.

You can have the best of intentions and think you're doing the right thing but you fall down when you're going against your own instinct.

Any time you turn off and let someone else make any artistic decision for you, you make a mistake.

When you're scrambling to fill the void in your life and you feel like you're drowning... we all yearn to hear that one friend's voice, say: "You're going to get through this."

I am impressed when music matters, when genres are broken, when spirits are lifted, when people make a difference, and when people are true to themselves.

As an artist, comfort can be your worst enemy.
