You can't expect drive and compassion from everyone who enters your life, but you have to demand it of the people you are creating with.

I'm honestly flattered and humbled that anyone would show interest in something I've done, forever.

I love music, but more for the context within the music than a certain sound.

Sometimes leaving is the only way to be there for someone.

I've felt love from certain songs that I've wanted to experience from other people - where I know that love may never happen - and I want to give that to someone else.

As a teenager, I would tell the teacher I was sick just so I could lie down in the nurse's office and listen to my headphones, thinking about how that day may be the best day ever, but I'm only capable of acknowledging that from a sickbed, lost in my own world.

There isn't a difference between how I feel in the world and how I feel as a musician, or someone who writes. They are one in the same. It's just a different presentation.
