I'm just writing songs about how I feel or about how people I know feel.

You're always going to write and draw inspiration from things that you're feeling, things that you've felt. It's kind of impossible not to unless you're writing a song and there's an exact scenario that you're trying to write a song for.

Sometime I write a song off a central idea, instead of emotion.

I write songs about stuff that I can't really get past personally - and then I write a song about it and I feel better.

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.

I started writing songs by myself. That always came from whatever I was feeling and being honest about that because I never had any intention of anyone ever hearing them.

I was always writing music anyway. I just sort of fell into it. Writing for me is a therapeutic process.

I just write songs whenever I feel like it, whenever they come to me.

I feel the emotion that life conjures up and the songs I write get me closer to my feelings and realising who I am. It's a natural process.

Nobody can tell you you're wrong for writing a song about how you feel - even if you don't really feel that way.
