I have been very fortunate to be a part of tours with other artists that have exposed me to new places that I've never been before. Once you discover something beautiful, you just want to keep coming back.

So how do you do it, with just words and just music, capture the feeling that my Earth is somebody's ceiling?

The struggle is to stay present enough when you're taking your next step forward that you're really making your most honest choices.

I can very much relate to waking up inside of your life and saying to yourself, "How did I get here?"

No one is anything but a shade of grey. It's good people making bad choices.

I have found so much joy and so much pride in contributing and being a team member, and then stepping back and watching someone else get the applause. That has been really satisfying in a way that I wouldn't have probably imagined.

I'm of the ilk of writers that feels you have to be open to the inspiration.
