How I set myself apart is by creating the sort of real and honest music, which is who I'm also trying to be.

I always saw myself as a singer-songwriter, a solo-artist, that's why working with other artists was never satisfying for me.

I was able to endure and play a special part in music history. And I always managed to keep working, even if I wasn't a big solo artist.

People sometimes ask if I want to be a solo artist, but it just wouldn't be any fun being on your own.

I have to be my own artist. I need the world to know who I am, especially for music. When it comes to acting, that is a whole other story. I have no complaints; that's a team effort. It's not just me, it's everyone. But when it comes to music, it is solo; that's all me.

I think I'll continue to work as a solo artist.

My music has always been my solo project.

When I'm sick of myself, and when I don't know what to say as a solo artist, I can write a song for a movie. When I don't know where to turn musically, being in a band - Rilo Kiley or Jenny & Johnny - the collaborative nature is really exciting.

I get so fed up with the making of an album taking over my life - it's all I can think about or talk about. You find yourself in a rut and lacking inspiration and it's hard to get out of that because I'm working alone in the studio.

I went through a struggle, and I really needed to get myself together and connect with my purpose, which is music.
