“I don't actually have problems dealing with corporate situations. There are times I've railed against it, but there are other times when I'm like, 'I'll take your money, no problem.'”
“Sometimes I'll write something that's purely autobiographical, and sometimes pure fiction, and sometimes a mix.”
“I've definitely gotten to the point where we get to the venue, and people know that I'm in charge of the band.”
“If I had to pick an artist that I look up to and am inspired by, it's Matisse because of how many times he would paint the same idea until he felt like he maybe got it right, and I try to do the same thing with my writing.”
“I don't really understand how to do bureaucratic things - school-system things.”
“I meet a lot of people after shows, and I have to say it's pretty intense.”
“Once you're in a position where you can choose to not be around toxic environments, just do that as much as you can.”

“My parents listened to a lot of James Taylor and Hall and Oates. My mom and I used to listen to Liz Phair and Indigo Girls a lot in the car, too.”

“The way my body is viewed in the world is different than a male body. People are going to write about the performance, but they're probably also going to be writing about what I was wearing or my hair, which just doesn't happen to men.”
“Whenever I'm really excited about a song, I want to learn it, and it becomes the first thing I play every time I pick up an instrument.”
“I love going to weddings. I love movie scenes of weddings. Even, like, TV-show weddings - I cry at every wedding.”
