I write for myself; I release the albums to connect with everyone else.

We all know about love, faith, sadness, despair, hope, hopelessness, longing, desire... those are things we all have inside of us, and that's what my songs are about... what it means to be a human being.

I like to talk while I'm on stage. It makes the show more personal. With that said, it's got to stay within reason or it's annoying.

Beautiful things never last. That’s why fireflies flash.

I think it's funny how excited people can get about things I say that don't have anything to do with music. I made a disparaging comment about McDonald's on Twitter once and people flipped out on me.

I was praying that you and me might end up together. It's like wishing for rain as I stand in the desert, but I'm holding you closer than most, 'cause you are my heaven.
