I feel like my songs are like diary entries for me. So I usually write about things that have happened to me specifically or sometimes it can be someone who's close to me.

I usually don't write songs by people calling me and saying, 'Write a song about this.' Usually I'm just going with what I want to write, so you never know.

The way I write my songs is that I have to believe what I'm writing about, and that's why they always end up being so personal - because the kind of artists I like, they convince me, they totally win me over straight away in that thing. Like, 'Oh my God, this song is totally about me.'

As a songwriter, I'm not necessarily writing about myself or my life.

I am a songwriter. I do get to put my personal experiences in song.

I still don't know if I can write songs. I don't think anyone ever knows if they can write songs.

When you're a songwriter and you click with someone, you tend to want to keep writing with that person.

I write most songs randomly. They don't always deal with something I've been through but something I think is important to tell.

When you write a song, the goal is not to convey the details of your life. You should write a memoir or something if that's what you're going to do.
