I want to be in control of my own destiny.

I feel calm when I'm on my own.

It's so easy to get caught up in your own experiences. They can seem so important. But there are billions and billions of other experiences going on.

Every song asks to be sung in a different way.

There's a real sense of desperation when you grow up in poverty.

My voice sucks. I don't like the tone.

I want to write music that will outlive me.
