As a songwriter, I've got a lot of facets, so to speak. When you come to a live show, you get a better sense of that, because you'll see me performing a piano ballad and some acoustic songs and some not acoustic songs, all in the same set.

No artist is one-dimensional. I get the sense that if I push myself now and if I create a million different-sounding songs - I just feel that’s going to be such a set-up for my ability in the future.
People like to associate you with hard times and I pride myself on coming through them more than experiencing them.
A good song always has to do with the person representing it - how they're feeling in that moment - but I think my songs don't need to be exclusive in terms of gender or race or that kind of thing.
Songwriting really kicked in with the guitar. I was going through a lot as a kid. There had been a lot of transitions in my family. So it just became a total therapy, like most artists.
I write great songs and the mistakes make them even better. No one else could write a Morrissey song.
I just always really loved music that was coincidentally from the States.
I was always the sniffly kid with bags under my eyes.
I don’t want a middle-aged white man telling me how to write my feelings. It’s not gonna work for me.
