In a lot of senses, things are definitely changing in my life, and with what's going on around me. But I still feel like the writing process is as intimate as it as before, if not more. Because I need my time more than I had before.

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.

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

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.

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

I just want to scream: I'm being honest, I swear! Maybe it's embarrassing, but I don't care anymore.

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

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.
