On the first album I was saying, that's just one part of me. And then I was thinking, well, am I going to hide the rest of me now just because I'm afraid of something? No. I'm just going to be myself.

I'm not a great piano player.

I just want to make my music, and I want it to stand on its own.

The coolest thing I've gotten to do in the past few years is guest star on Sesame Street.

Songs are about whatever you want them to be about. For me it might mean something completely different than what it means to you. So I'd say it's about whatever the listener thinks it's about.

People think I'm really melancholy and romantic and all whispery. I'm not at all. I'm very direct.

I'm ballsy. Well, sometimes I'm ballsy.
