It's important to keep indie record stores alive because their unique environments introduce music lovers to things in a very personal way.

I don't think I'm a great songwriter, but I think I've learned a lot about it, and I don't think there's any one way to do it. I don't think I can control it at all. I can just kind of hope that it happens.

If I make a record I love, then somebody will like it. Maybe not everybody, but that won't matter.

I'm super-fortunate to have any fans still.

It's true, there's a lot of melancholy in my music. I don't know why, I'm not a melancholy person. I've always been drawn to it. Ever since I was a kid, if I had an album I would play the ballads on repeat.

I don't want to be the next big anything. I just want to play for people and that's it.
