When I write songs for myself it's really personal and I just can't have someone else singing it.

I try and make all my songs sound different from each other while doing it in a way that's still me. It's a tricky thing to do.

When I'm writing, it's the weirdest thing: it's not even a conscious process. I'm not even thinking when I write, and then all of a sudden, I'll have a song that makes me feel so much better than I did before.

When you're making music, it's meant to be shared with people. Sometimes, even if I'm writing a song, someone else brings a vibe. There's something different about it. If someone can play a better bassline than me, I'll let them do it. I'm just here to fit in and see where it goes.

Sometimes you have trouble because someone 'likes' your music so much. They follow you around for hours singing little bits of the songs, or just freaking out.

So it's not so much that I set out to do something different, it's just that the songs themselves require their own individual voice and attention.

When I feel comfortable, I just like to sing and hum, and I don't even know I'm doing it. But sometimes someone will come over to me like, 'I love that song you were singing, but it's distracting.'

When I'm writing a song, it gives me more actual pleasure to hear someone else sing it than do it meself.

Other people notice the same things but they don't think to put it to music.

There is no seam between my songs and myself-they really are me. It's not like I'm performing; I'm just singing stuff that I really believe.
