I think there's no purpose for writing music if it is not meaningful.

I want to make meaningful music always - I think every artist does. We want our words and melodies to mean something to people, even if it is just one person.

I want people to take me seriously as an artist and to hear that I have something to truly say and to offer.

I want people to listen to the lyrics of each song and absorb the music fully before they look at me and make a judgment about what they think my music will or should sound like.

A process which makes one rogue cleverer than another.

Love is the glue that holds the world together.
