Having the opportunity to express myself through music has been extremely cathartic for me my entire life.

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

Songwriting is therapeutic for me.

I've always written songs, even when I wasn't doing anything with my personal life in music.

I really enjoy the therapeutic value of writing songs.

Writing music is just something that I was born to do.

I think one of the pitfalls of doing your own music is that sometimes you can never be satisfied with it: you're afraid to say that it's done, and you keep reworking it or re-recording it or re-writing it.

Music is therapy for me. It's my outlet for every negative thing I've ever been through. It lets me turn something bad into something beautiful.

I'm so happy to be a song-writer - I'm even surprised when I get to record anything. I consider it a considerable privilege and a blessing to have a medium of expression that has a place in the world.

I think that creative work, music in particular, is a conveyor of inner emotional life. I don't feel one way all the time, so I don't want my music to feel the same way all the time.
