It's really such a personal journey, making a record, but even more so writing the songs.

I've been performing my whole life.

Writing is very much a playground - an artistic playground. It's the most fun thing I do.

Music is a great natural high and a great natural escape.

One day, someone said to me, 'Do you want to go jump out of an airplane?' I felt like I had nothing to lose anymore, so I said, 'Why not?' And every day since then, I ask myself that question.

Ain't nothing better, we beat the odds together.

I wanted to die. I had a panic attack.
