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

I think singing comes most naturally for me. Because it's part of your body - it's a natural thing. You can practice all you want but it's part of your body.

I became a musician so I wouldn't have to get up at 6 in the morning.

Songs are kind of alive, I think; once you finish writing them, that doesn't mean that that's it for the song. It can have its own little life, I think.

There was an enormous amount of pressure when my first album took off, and I struggled with the speed of everything and the exhaustion from the constant touring.

I feel like I've been lucky, because I don't feel like I've ever tried to be somebody I'm not. People might disagree.

I don't think it's a bad thing to share how you feel, especially if people can relate to it.
