Usually when I'm writing, I try to write fairly quickly. If a song sits around too long, it starts to take on a stink. Most of my songs are written in one sitting, two sittings maybe. Those are the ones I like the best, anyway.

I don't belong in limos or private jets or on stage with people cheering me but that's what's kept me grounded because I know it's not right.

She can kill with her smile, she can wound with her eyes.
