I have manic energy. What can be done about it? I don’t know what to say sometimes. I’m professional in public, but I like to stay inside and be a hermit.

Everything I write is personal, really. Even when I’m sarcastic, it’s quite personal. And on this record, from the production to the singing to the performances, I got it really honest.

You can’t really control how people hear stuff. It’s hard to remember that. I have to let go of it.

Letting People Stuff
I’m not really a strange person or anything, so if there’s music I like, usually there’s other people who like it too.

The less I talk in bars, write emails, express myself in an emotionally lewd way outside of my songwriting, the more I have to do it through my music.
