I like to be in control of things.

I wasn't very aware of pop music because I attended an arts school. For me, it was all about jazz.

I remember early on, for instance, having to play wedding gigs, that I hated playing the music. Now I don't have to play music that I don't like. I only get to do what I enjoy, so that's pretty lucky.

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.

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

I just want to keep making music, recording and trying different things. I don't want to do the same thing all the time.

I think it's important for people who love music to retain physical CDs or even vinyl, because it sounds so great and so much warmer than music over the internet.
