I get a different kind of lyric from someone else that might make me go in a different musical direction.

You've got to really be able to accept the rejection.

Cynthia's lyrics always expressed the feelings people felt but they couldn't express themselves.

No matter what you do, you'll never run away from you.

I've written songs sober and I've written songs high.

I also used to work in the Catskill Mountains as a bus boy, and I performed in talent shows.

You're going to have more rejection than acceptance.
