Writing is something that I practice at every day to get better at.

It's so much in me to want to keep experimenting all the time. It's just inherent. Therefore I keep reaching for instruments I don't particularly know how to play, and then I become excited. That gives me energy to want to make new things, and it forces me to hear things in new ways, which then can only help to say things in a new way.

I think that most art is asking a question or is looking for something, looking for answers and that is what life seems to be about for most people.

Ever since time began: What song is not about love? Whether it's about love from man to woman or parent to child, or grandmother to granddaughter... It just goes on and on. Or whether it's the love of one's country.

I always wanted to be an artist. I think I was just waiting on somebody to approve me and be like, "Oh, okay, you should be an artist," you know 'cause it wasn't until I stopped looking for approval that I could actually do it.

It varies, I don't think there is any one set way of writing songs or coming up with ideas, it comes in so many ways you know.

It's so interesting to me how songs take on a shape and body of their own and grow.
