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

I'm addicted to the dynamics of relationships whether they be in love, work, between strangers on the streets, or in the world in general.

There's something about [pain] that excites me. If I'm feeling really awful about something, it's because I haven't experienced it before. There's something I need to learn from it.

Everyone is more than what you see on the cover; we all run deep and have our story.

I don't really usually write sort of a cheerleader-type lyric.

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.

Hopefully, my tears are worth something to the outside world.
