Success and the art of making music are two different things for me.
It's hard for me to pry with people I know.
I like my life. I like my friends. I don't want to go anywhere else.
I don't like shopping, and I like my clothes to be comfortable.
I try to just make music that I love, and if I believe in it that's all that matters.
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.
