I want to write music that will outlive me.

I'm a private person.

My backstory is so tedious. I hope the interviews are turning a corner now.

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.

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.

There's nothing in the world so sad as talking to a man who never knew his life was his for making.

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