I want to be in control of my own destiny.

I can't get excited by my own music. It's impossible.

I refused then like I do now to let anybody tie me down

I want to write music that will outlive me.

The thing I love about music is that you can take things that are painful, deep things that hurt you, and you can turn them into something beautiful.

Every song asks to be sung in a different way.

I'm very uncomfortable in my own skin.
