And music has always been incredibly cathartic for me, whether it's writing my own stuff or singing other people's music; it's very freeing.

I like to think that my music allows people that cathartic cry.

I've had a wonderful life with music.

Because I express myself through the music, I want to be responsible in that expression and how it carries on well after I'm here. But that's just me.

Music is such a healing thing, no matter who you are.

I think that's my gift in this world is to put experience into music.

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

It's wonderful when music is intellectually stimulating. But ultimately it has to be a visceral experience.

I have a desire that I want to make people feel happy through my music. I'm always trying to find optimistic ways to express myself.

Music is just kind of an expression of who I am. It's what I do.
