“When I was 10, my parents really valued success in the arts, and I thought if I was a famous 'something artistic,' that they would love me more.”

“That would really be my fantasy - maybe just do three shows a year and each year in a different city, just singing for the people who really want to see it, and then just write for other people. I do love to sing, but I'm just as happy singing in the bathtub, you know?”

“I'll be the songwriter for pop stars and then they can be the front person and I don't have to be famous.”

“I see procrastination and research as part of my artistic process.”

“That is the artistic task: To choose the best from these solutions.”

“Irish is the prominent nationality in the family, but beyond that, I really don't know. I see a lot of artistic or creative influence coming through on my mother's side.”
