If, you know, all your life you're making films or whatever, and somehow along the way you lose meaning in whatever you're doing when you're making the films, they're just not the same as they used to be to you. That doesn't mean your life is over it just means maybe go try to live a different life.

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

I'm ready to take on different selves and experiment and see what happens.

I'd rather people interpret the songs and get whatever they can out of them instead of thinking about me crying in a room with a guitar.

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.

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.

If you can't be psyched about your own thoughts, then how are you supposed to have a meaningful interaction with anyone?

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.

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

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

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

There's a lot of expectation after you do something that seems to have been well received. It's kind of unfair.

It's hard to force a relationship with a stranger even if they happen to be someone you happen to share blood with.

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

I was adopted legally around age three, but it's not like this thing I think about when I wake up every day. I was adopted by my foster parents, so I was comfortable with them. I wasn't in this alien place.

I listen to tapes a lot. I have a car that only (has a cassette player). I like the nostalgic factor.

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.
