I'm writing from a place of - a center of authenticity, somewhere that only I know how to write from.

From the stage, I can reach a large audience, and you learn from being on stage how much a song reaches, what extent of the crowd a song can reach. I write in a way that can reach most of the audience, but I also wanted to have truly intimate moments as well, many intimate moments, more so than the big moments.

I only know how to write musicals.

It's not really that I'm interested in filmmaking. I'm interested in the instrument of it, you know.

I know that often times a lot of people who work in music, whether they be labels and so on or even artists, want personal recognition. We want to be recognized for something, for what we did. I'd rather my song be recognized for what it's doing and that's important. It's not so important how many people know me.

You have to let the world speak to you and then you speak, you know, so I'm in that moment now where I'm finding the world's voice.
