For me, when I'm writing something really personal, I don't feel good about it. It's weird that people can connect to it and like something that came from a really crap place. You have to be quite brave to write about something that you honestly feel and think.

As long as I can make an audience feel something, I don't care whether it's a good thing or bad thing, just to feel something is important to me.

There are things that people say that hurt my feelings or whatever, especially with social media right now. It can be the most amazing thing, and it can also be the most negative and detrimental thing.

Expressing my feelings and then the opportunity to share it with others is just such a gift.

Sometimes you feel bad about yourself when there's no reason to.

I don't like to share my personal life... it wouldn't be personal if I shared it.

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

I say what I feel. I try to be tactful, but I can't not say what I feel. I have a really big problem with that.

I'm often troubled by a very strong instinct to share everything that's going on with me. I want to feel that connection, even with people I don't know. Then this other voice says, 'That's not prudent. People will use what you've said to hurt you.'
