I like to leave all of my soul on the stage where I perform.

I just try and get better and better at me with every album.

For me, when I want to be emotionally moved by a vocal, I don't want to hear auto tune on it, I want to hear the beautiful imperfections.

I think the one thing for me that's been working is just authenticity.

I don't really chase trends and fads because they are fleeting.

I've learned in my older age how to let it go when things don't work out, because something incredible that I don't know about yet is probably right around the corner.

I want to keep pushing myself so I never feel settled. I don't really know if it's going to end up working. I'm stressed out most of the time.
