I think expression is at it's best when it comes from an honest place, so I always try to use my own life experiences, feelings, struggles, frustrations etc. as the catalyst for my song writing.

I knew I wanted to be a performer really early on, like around 8 years old. I did tons of acting and loved being in front of people.

My folks are hilarious extroverts and have always been very supportive of all my artistic endeavors. I'm really lucky to come from such an encouraging family.

I have a lot of new music that I'm very excited about.

I find myself improvising a lot. But, sometimes I'll come us with a chorus or just one line and it will sort of hang out for a long time before it get's flushed out into a real living song.

I'm always working on lots of songs at once. For me it's very emotionally driven.

Nothing beats performing live. For me, there's nothing better.

The single most sacred pilgrimage you will ever make is the one right where you are.

Public health and safety are my highest priorities.

You may eventually decide to breakup, and that’s fine, because headaches are not cute, but at least you know you tried.

I am so much of a mind now to be in the audience, to watch and to experience, and to feel, rather than having to get up and perform, I want my life to be less about performing.

If the power goes out, business stops... whether you sell roses or youre a big manufacturer.

We can choose who we bring into our lives. We can choose who will reinforce our risk taking.

I do think that there are people who are able to connect with and empathize with anyone who is going through something difficult, just naturally. I don't think it's a world of effort for everyone.

During the Sixties, the Americans thought I was the greatest thing in the history of cinema.

I'm not a media darling. I'm forever the outsider, for whatever the reason is.

Computers don't lie, but liars can compute.

Let's face it, in America today we don't have a health care system, we have a sick care system.

There's nothing wrong with me...except acute chronic fear.
