I’m into sincerity in music and sincerity in art. If it doesn’t feel true, I don’t want to do it. Things that are too dramatic scare me. I think that’s why I don’t always fit into the world of performing arts.

I’ve been writing music since I was about eight. I would write sporadically. I wrote a lot of music in high school. I guess the oldest song on the record (“I Thought I Saw Your Face”) is about eight years old.

Oh my God, there are so many songs I wish I had written. ‘Waters of March,’ I wish I had written ‘My Baby Just Cares for Me,’ I wish I had written ‘This Will Be Our Year,’ I mean, there’s millions of them. ‘Wouldn’t It Be Nice?’

I would say I know nothing about the music business, in a nice sort of way. I totally forgot I was in that music video. That’s so funny.
