I'm sure that the meaning of the songs that I've written will change for me over the years, the same way that I can't even say what inspired some of the songs that I've been singing for a long time anymore.

People should know each other because they want to, because they have things in common.

It's a bit of a weird thing to know that (my music) has translated to that many people.

Music is the first thing I ever cared greatly about. I've been singing and writing songs since I was six or seven.

You want to create things as purely as possible without allowing the universe to interfere so much that it's manipulating it and making things unreal to you.

I feel really good about the future and working with people.

My family life, my adoption - it could be related to the songs, but I think the songs are deeper than that. They're not just about this experience.

My first ever tour of my music was in the Netherlands. I didn't really have a grace period to grow or anything, people just started booking for me. I feel pretty lucky.

In high school I was in a band called Goodfight, but it was more me running around on stage. It was very punk inspired. Then I started to get into indie-rock and older music and decided I wanted to write my own stuff. I quit the band. Around 16 or 17, I started recording myself at home on keyboard and piano.

I'm not trying to prove that I'm capable of doing many things.

I've been writing a lot of songs in twos, songs that are like twins in my mind.

I enjoy singing the songs a certain way, but I don't even know how the writing even began. To me, it's work that is kind of invisible it's a weird kind of work to have because you're not working, but it's not not work. Formulating your thoughts and making a melody that's catchy enough for people to listen to what you're saying is really hard!

The family that raised me are awesome people and they are my mother and my father and my brother and my sister. I've never viewed them as these strangers that took over. It's never been this crazy, dramatic, Lifetime-movie situation. It's been chill.

I don't believe people when they say their songs have nothing to do with their personal life.

People are buying more vinyl now than they did in the late '90s or 2000s. I like having different mediums of the record. It's always interesting to see how the tapes end up looking because they are so tiny.

I sometimes write as if I were talking to myself, or to a mirror, or to someone for the last time. There's this element of confrontation.

I don't know what folk music means anymore, because the meaning of that just keeps changing.

When people disappoint you, it's just as much your responsibility to be aware of it and what you don't want.
