Writing songs is not something I wanted to share with people for a long time. It was precious to me. I didnt want someone to crush it. I waited until I felt strong enough to take the criticism.

We all have that inner voice that is wise, even if we don't always follow it. It's that voice I'm trying to listen to.

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.

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.

I'd much rather be playing songs than talking to people.

When I think of folk music, I think of topical songs. And I don't write topical songs.

I'm a private person.
