“I think people can make the mistake in life to be completely guarded. I am a private person but when it comes to my music, I’m an open book. You only have to listen to my albums to know exactly what’s going on in my life, and I don’t see that as a weakness. Some people get so caught up in hiding their emotions from everybody that they just burn out because it’s so exhausting. I’ve learnt that in life, you have to embrace whatever is thrown at you and turn it into a positive. My way of doing that is through songwriting, it’s the only way I know how to make sense of anything that happens to me in my life.”
“I had this one real jerk of a teacher who I was asking and I was like “so what is the difference between a 6 string and a 12 string guitar?” and he goes, “uh I don’t need to answer that for you because there’s no way you’ll be able to play a 12 string guitar at your age, and your fingers aren’t developed enough.. there’s no way you’ll be able to play it.” So the next day I picked out the 12 string guitar that I wanted and waited about 6 months till Christmas came around and I got that 12 string guitar and I would play it every single day until my fingers bled. At first it seemed really hard and then I just realized that if I put my mind to something then it was really mind over matter, and maybe my fingers weren’t long enough or developed enough to play it but I played it.”
