Anytime someone tells me that I can't do something, I want to do it more.

I rode an elevator with a guy who was whistling the tune of 'this is the song that never ends'. Putting that on me? Come on dude.

The things that make me cry are when the people I love have gone through pain and I’ve seen it.

I think songwriting is the ultimate form of being able to make anything that happens in your life productive.

Here I was again tonight forcing laughter, faking smiles Same old tired, lonely place

The difference between a good song and a great song is a good song is one that you know, you'll put on in your car or you'll dance to it. But I think a great song you'll cry to it, or you get chills. I think a great song says how you feel better than you could.

At 24 I decided that my life is enough for me, and I stopped looking for some other piece to complete it. I also learned how to needlepoint ironic cross-stitches of rap lyrics and gave them to my friends as presents. I’ll let you decide which is the more important revelation.
