I'm a songwriter. Everything affects me.

Love always ends differently and it always begins differently - especially with me.

You learn lessons. A lot of them the hard way.

I've always been really, really aware of my insecurities - really, really aware. I never developed that thick skin that keeps you from letting things get to you.

I've never gotten thick skin. If you close yourself off and you get this protective armor, there is a price you pay with that - of not feeling. And feeling is important when you are a songwriter.

The thing about life is, every time you learn a lesson, another is waiting right at the corner. You never know everything.

People haven't always been there for me, but music always has.
