There's a lot of expectation after you do something that seems to have been well received. It's kind of unfair.

I'm sure that the meaning of the songs that I've written will change for me over the years, the same way that I can't even say what inspired some of the songs that I've been singing for a long time anymore.

I enjoy singing the songs a certain way, but I don't even know how the writing even began. To me, it's work that is kind of invisible; it's a weird kind of work to have because you're not working, but it's not not work. Formulating your thoughts and making a melody that's catchy enough for people to listen to what you're saying is really hard!

I know it sounds so lame, but the songs are like my children.

I just want to scream: "I'm being honest, I swear!" Maybe it's embarrassing, but I don't care anymore.

A lot of people ask me if I'm OK. I'm capable of crazy - a lot of people are - but I'm OK.

Go and experience life the way that someone else might experience it. Maybe you'll find meaning in a different corner of your brain. The fact that it changed doesn't negate the fact that it ever mattered.
