It's important to keep indie record stores alive because their unique environments introduce music lovers to things in a very personal way.
I wasn't very aware of pop music because I attended an arts school. For me, it was all about jazz.
Nobody can tell you you're wrong for writing a song about how you feel - even if you don't really feel that way.
The coolest thing I've gotten to do in the past few years is guest star on Sesame Street.
I don't think it's a bad thing to share how you feel, especially if people can relate to it.
I think it's important for people who love music to retain physical CDs or even vinyl, because it sounds so great and so much warmer than music over the internet.
If I make a record I love, then somebody will like it. Maybe not everybody, but that won't matter.
I've been told the weirdest things: 'Yeah, I love taking a bath to your music!' or 'I gave birth to my daughter while listening to your music.'
My first two records are so simply constructed. The reason isn't because I wanted to make simple music. It's because I don't really have the chops.
All is fair in love and songwriting.
I became a musician so I wouldn't have to get up at 6 in the morning.
I'm not melancholy; I'm a happy-go-lucky person, kind of silly. I like funny things. I have a lot of energy. I tend to like music that's mellow, though.
Don't go chasing after butterflies, when everything you want is right by your side.
When something's ending, you go through so many phases, and it can be frustrating. But once you're out on the other side, it's like you can really see all the crazy phases you went through.
