I believe that most people aren't that different from one another. Although we might appear to be different on the surface, I think ultimately we all go through the same struggles.

I write very personal songs. Subject matter is usually derived from some internal struggle that I am having.

I don't worry so much about whether people are buying my music or getting it for free.

The most important thing is writing songs that resonate and giving people a chance to listen to them.

I just try to stay honest with myself and in doing that I feel like the songs are going to resonate.

When I deal with my struggles in my songs, I feel like most people are going to identify with my struggles because they are essentially dealing with the same things.

In many ways my writing is like therapy. It is my way of dealing with things.

When I think about my career and how it all started, it really started with me getting to a point where I understood how to write songs that resonated with people.

I think people just want to hear good songs and I just want to keep getting better as a writer so that I can deliver good songs.

I believe that people want to hear good songs and they want to be moved.

Everything is meaningless

Strength on its own in a woman is quite abrasive and not terribly attractive all the time.

We ought to make the moments notes Of happy glad Thanksgiving; The hours and days, a silent praise Of music we are living.

People with Tourettes.....What makes them tick?

Morality begins at the point of a gun.

People think that atheists have nothing to live for, but that's not true - it's that we have nothing to die for.

Funny how you can live a whole life waiting and not know it.
