I didn't really think about the sound of my songs before I started recording things in the studio.

When you're outside, and everything is highland, it's like nature has its own sound, and that's one of my favorite sounds.

I love to be alone, and I did as a child as well, especially if I was outside.

It can be scary to be everywhere else for a long time. I always feel that I'm safe at home, near my family.

After being in the studio, I realized this is how I want to be. It just feels right.

I'm getting used to the singing part but not the talking part.

I'd find myself more interesting if I weren't with me all the time.

You can criticize something you strive for, and you can avoid something you dream about.

I am flushed and warm. I think I may be enormous, I am so stupidly happy, My wellingtons Squelching and squelching through the beautiful red.
