I Only Know How To

When I Walk Outside, People Have Something To Say About It.

I'd Been Sick On Tour For About Two Years With This Medical Anomaly That Doctors Couldn't Figure Out. That's A Big Part Of My Life: I Just Feel Really Sick A Lot Of The Time And Can't Figure Out Why. I'd Gotten These Shots In Russia, Where We'd Just Been. It Was Just Heavy. It's Just Heavy Performing For People Who Really Care About You, And You Don't Really Care That Much About Yourself Sometimes.

I Entered A Songwriting Competition, I Didn't Win, And One Of The Judges On The Panel Was An A&r Man At A Record Label That Had No Other Acts And I Signed To Them. We Sent My Demo Out To Five People And David Kahne Got Back To Me That Day, And Said I Think You're Amazing I Want To Start With You Tomorrow. He Was Like My Harvard Reach School, I Couldn't Believe It. I Was Really Excited. It Was The First Time Anyone Of Any Importance Said I Was Good And I Ran With That Validation For A Long Time.

I Lived Where I Could And Studied What I Enjoyed Studying. I Took What I Wanted From That Education But Was Making My First Record At The Same Time.

It Takes Getting Everything You Ever Wanted And Then Losing It, To Know What True Freedom Is.
