I Don't Exist Without Writing.

I've Always Had A Love For Poetry And When I Got Signed To A Record Label I Thought, 'how Odd That I'm Doing A Record Before A Book Of Poetry.'

I Want My Whole Life To Be A Great Work Of Art, Not Just My Art. And That Means Paying Attention To My Entire Life And Trying To Make Sure My Whole Life Is Balanced.

On My Own I Generally Have Very Messy Hair, Wear Jeans And Sneakers.

I Get Bored Very Easily. I Have A Voracious Appetite And I Do Not Feel Alive If I'm Repeating Something I'm Good At. So I'm Always Looking For New Challenges.

I've Had Mentors Who Were Kind Of The Troubadour Singer-songwriters, Like Merle Haggard, Loretta Lynn, Joni Mitchell, Bob Dylan And Neil Young, And That's Just What I've Always Liked - People Who Would Talk Real Honestly About Their Lives And Their Circumstance.
