I'm very uncomfortable in my own skin.

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.

You have to believe in yourself before anybody else believes in you.

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.

Social situations, for me - it's very natural for me to be an observer. That's where I'm most comfortable. I observe things.

I can't get excited by my own music. It's impossible.

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