3 " Like a picture out of focus, I’m starting to think that I don’t even know who I am anymore. And that feeling – like being sucked out into the vacuum of space without a suit – is the most terrifying of all. "

10 " Music is the language of our generation. I want to dosomething more than just perform. I want to give language to what people like us – people with shared experiences – actually feel. Music does that, y’know? "
