writing thinking
I think I'd been limiting myself in some ways just writing in first person all the time.
people sitting world
We waste a lot of our lives sometimes. There are people sitting across from us who would make the whole world better if we spent more time with them in it, but we can't get across that gully.
spiritual lonely thinking
I'm not a spiritual person at all, but I do think that the world doesn't have to be as lonely as it is.
I feel like I've been in love, but I have stood aside from it over and over again in my life. It's all you want, but it's terrifying.
people feel-good together
You have to kind of shift the way you look at life when you're in a group of people that you work with. It's not so much, do they make you feel good when you're around them all the time; it's how can you make everyone feel comfortable together.
pain people trying
I'm so busy trying to breathe through the pain that I'm breathing through the pain of being with people, and that is no way to spend a life. Eventually, they'll just go away, because you will make them sad. That's something I've proven quite adept at doing over the years.
letting-go care
If you want to really love someone, you've got to let go and loosen up and just care.
hurt bravery scare
Bravery is what you can do in the face of things that hurt and scare you, but you do it anyway.
pain
I'm really good in pain. I snapped my leg in half on stage and played a whole show. But I can't sit there with someone that loves me.
crisis
I'm really good in a crisis, because I don't panic.
embrace
You want to embrace, but I can't figure out how to hold on to it.
people records lasts
But what you realise after you've been in the business for a while is that people develop opinions about you that don't have anything to do with your music, they like or dislike you for a million reasons, they like or dislike you for your last record.
lonely
When everybody loves me, I will never be lonely.
talking important
My life isn't necessarily more important than anyone else's: I'm just better in talking about it.
