"It is human nature to imagine, to put yourself in another's shoes. The past may be another country. But the only passport required is empathy."

Previous Quote

Things would hurt me in a big way because I didn't seem to have a very thick layer of skin, but this also meant I had extreme empathy for other people. I think perhaps that's what makes my songs hit home for some people, because I've tried to see the world through their eyes and I recognise- even just for a second- that we all ultimately are struggling with the same things.
