In general, I think I'm a very private person. But I also love human beings.

Obviously, it's great to know that your music is being listened to.

I think sometimes songwriting becomes diluted when you have lots of components to mask a lack of core.

People who create art would be fools to assume they know exactly what people are going to think of it.

There's something to be said for being classically trained on piano, but not having your whole makeup be tied to one instrument.

I really do try to let the identity or voice inside come out.

As long as artists can make something, artists will continue to survive.
