I have this really beautiful Martin guitar, and it just kind of writes songs for me.

When you're just shagging girls, you can talk about it, but once it gets real, then you don't.

There's usually a rhythm and a melody in my head, and that creates an emotional state

Books stay with me and have shaped me and made huge impacts on my life.

My music is so often like a lullaby I write to myself to make sense of things I can't tie together, or things I've lost, or things I'll never have.

What we value about music and literature are the moments that they create in our minds when we encounter them.

You make kingdoms and castles on your own.
