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.
You have to believe in yourself before anybody else believes in you.
I'm a very emotional person.
There's a real sense of desperation when you grow up in poverty.
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.
I need space between me and the audience - and the more space the better.
