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

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

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.

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

It's very important to enjoy time alone with yourself and just existing, because existence is kind of cool.

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!

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.

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

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.

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.

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

Share yourself with others after you have first spent some time with yourself.

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

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

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.

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

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.

I guess that in a lot of ways, my writing is more of a character to me than something that I feel personally attached to.
