The more I push myself to really live and really experience things and step outside of my comfort zone, the more the songs are allowed to flow.

There are a bunch of songs that I think are beautiful recordings, and I'm proud of them, but I've no interest in listening to them.

Inside, I've got a real purist desire and dream about the music. I like the idea of being able to carve out a kind of magical, colourful, artistic, inspirational life. And the reality just turns out to be quite different, working with the business to bring this thing you have created into the world.

I have an abundance of enthusiasm; however, it would be foolish to think I can predict a future that doesn't exist.

The best restriction I learned was getting into the habit of doing something, even if I didn't feel like it, instead of running away from it. Sometimes good work needs to be earned, and when you can overcome yourself, the muse notices and celebrates.

I've learned very, very, very clearly that money does not equal happiness or security, either.

I was on paper earning more money and having more success than I'd ever had. And it was also the most miserable I've ever been. When those things collided, I realised something was off. That's when I started poking around to figure out what was wrong.

Music enables me to cleanse and shed the things that I feel are holding me back from growing, or growing up.

Everyone is capable of everything.

When I'm in a place like Iceland, I allow myself to take a little more time to divert off onto other paths creatively for a while and see what comes to me.
