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'm a private person.

Don't let your eyes refuse to seeDon't let your ears refuse to hear

I am very self-critical, but that's a good thing because it keeps me growing as a human being and as a musician.

I'm very uncomfortable in my own skin.

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

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.
