I do have faith that something better is always coming for you.

I used to find places in high school and college, empty rooms or spaces with pianos. Instead of going to a party, I'd play alone for hours. It became my buddy.

Conflict is a great thing to start with. For me as a songwriter, I am constantly trying to solve problems.

My own brain. When I get it out of the way, I'm fine.

What tries to break us is endlessly fascinating to me. Joy is a whole different game to express.

Pain is a huge gift. It can expand you like nothing else. If you can embrace it and sink into it, you'll get to the point where you can bend and transform your experience of it. Having some sort of creative outlet to do that is another gift.

I treasure my mornings. I get up early and ignore everything work-related for the first few hours. It's just me and my coffee addiction.
