I'm a very emotional person.
I need space between me and the audience - and the more space the better.
I want to write music that will outlive me.
I'd much rather be playing songs than talking to people.
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.
When I pick up the guitar, it's a melody, and that's what drives the lyrics. It's bits and pieces of truth, but it is storytelling.
