Of course, I would be depressed sometimes, and my Mom would be worried about me because I would just sleep to escape. Cause I was so scared of being a musician or artist, or whatever you want to call it.

I'm learning a lot about myself being alone, and doing what I'm doing.

Actually, no, because awards don't spark sales as much as you'd think.

I can't say I want to earn a particular award or sell a certain number of records, because even if I do that, the satisfaction only lasts five minutes.

I'm not writing just about melancholy stuff anymore, I made a point to cover a wide range of emotions.

I've found that in now having experienced what it's like to make records and just through growing up in general that you should be expressive about what's affecting you instead of trying to sing about a subject just for the sake of other people getting something from it.
