This world's a blessing and a beast everyday.

I think the thing that has made it possible for me to write personal songs and sing them year after year is the sensibility for good writing. Just opening your veins all over the paper is not necessarily going to be interesting. I wanted to speak to people.

I dont like doing whats expected. Ive always done best when Ive listened to my instincts rather than following convention or doing what other people think I should do.

What's great about art is that if you can reach people, if they hear or see what you do and it moves them, there's a commonality.

One of the dumber things my manager said was, Stick to the melody. But I can't.

Give me some credit for the hell I've paid.

The less you know, the more I comprehend. You don't have to drag me down, I descend.
