I want to write music that will outlive me.

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'm a very emotional person.

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

I want to write music that will outlive me.

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