I've found that in now having experienced what it's like to make records and just through growing up in general that you should be expressive about what's affecting you instead of trying to sing about a subject just for the sake of other people getting something from it.

When I hear someone, instantaneously, I'm like, 'Who's singing?' You're giving people so much of yourself, and my voice is the most natural, distinctive tool I have. It's up to me to express myself on a wider scale than just writing vocal melodies and lyrics.

I work on my voice through what I have to sing.

Write your own songs. It helps you to mean what you're singing, which will then make it mean something to listeners.

I can sing, but it takes an incredible amount of work for me to sound acceptable.

I'm in a really lucky position where people will be interested in whatever I do, but what I do is sing.

I write and sing about whatever I am able to understand and feel.

A lot of what I have always done is do other singers.

I write a lot of lyrics and I'm involved in the producing process, because it's like, if I'm singing it, I want it to be something that I can relate to.
