I think I'm also more open to other writers being present and listening to other opinions, whereas before I was going through my angsty teen years while making records.

I think its so cool that you can pick up the guitar and create something that didn't exist 5 minutes ago. You can write something that no ones ever heard before. You have music at your fingertips.

I was so adamant about proving myself for so long and I've gotten to the point where I don't have to do that as much.

When I'm having a bad day, I pick up my guitar.

I feel connected to whatever is out there.

I followed my heart and figured that if I tried and failed, at least Id know that I tried.

I was drifting away like a drop in the ocean, and now I realize that nothing has been as beautiful as when I saw heaven's skies.

My involvement in the political arena is to make sure there's a place for culture.
