“I feel like every time I write a song, it feels like the first time I wrote a song. It’s just as hard. It doesn’t get easier, but that’s why I love it: because it’s a challenge every time.”

As soon as I get time, I really wanna dig down and do some acting.

I’m tortured because I care. I’m always upset about not doing things as good as I think I could have because I care.

My first Vine I really just posted out of spontaneity.

I’m not the best singer in the world; I’m just good at picking up what I want to sound like.

Absolutely, I never stop working on new music.

I have a song called ‘I Don’t Even Know Your Name’ which I think is going to be well liked across the board.

I think my all time favourite song would be between ‘Slow Dancing in a Burning Room’ and ‘Dreaming with a Broken Heart’ by John Mayer.

I loved Nashville. I was amazed by the whole place.

I’m not just writing songs that are narrating my life, but everyone else around my age because they’re super-relatable.

You have to work the crowd.

I’m not a rapper.

Definitely, it’s hard being a young artist and being taken seriously.

I felt like there were so many talented people who should be getting what I have.

Just the fact that a thousand people in front of me were ready to hear me sing was one of the best feelings I can think of.

I really love listening to Hozier. He’s great.

I have songs about growing up, about ex-relationships – ex-relationship, I should say.

Awakening self-compassion is often the greatest challenge people face on the spiritual path.

You must force yourself to consider opposing arguments. Especially when they challenge your best loved ideas.

I’ve learned that the challenge doesn’t lie in finding love but healing from those who didn’t know what love is. – lessons in love.

The soul always knows what to do to heal itself. The challenge is to silence the mind.

Confront a corpse at least once. The absolute absence of life is the most disturbing and challenging confrontation you will ever have.

The masculine grows by challenge, but the feminine grows by praise. A man must be unabashed and expressed in his appreciation for his woman. Praise her freely.

Always challenge the old ways.
