There's a freedom to being young that is harder to come by as time goes on.

A friend is always good to have, but a lover's kiss is better than angels raining down on me.

But then there are magical, beautiful things in the world. There's incredible acts of kindness and bravery, and in the most unlikely places, and it gives you hope.

I hope that just what I sing about and how I relate to my audience is as much of a political statement as I need to make.

Good music is good music, and everything else can go to hell.
