Quote

I learned how to be more theatrical and have more fun, and to take a song and sing it over and over again in different ways, and make it different each time. I'm not just singing the song - it's this thing that's affecting me.

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.

You get to a certain age and it really occurs to you: My mother and my father will not always be here. My spouse or my girlfriend or boyfriend are here right now, but someday they won't be. You realize that you need to like yourself.

In the music industry, it's pretty easy to make an album just because you want to keep going, like, 'This is the formula.' But the formula is your life. You have to live your life and you have to live it well - that's the formula.

Sometimes I'll hit a note and sometimes I don't. Why not at least try?

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.

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 wasn't an only child, but I was the youngest, and no one else in my family played music.

Go and experience life the way that someone else might experience it. Maybe you'll find meaning in a different corner of your brain. The fact that it changed doesn't negate the fact that it ever mattered.

A lot of people ask me if I'm OK. I'm capable of crazy - a lot of people are - but I'm OK.
