I don't like the word "happy." I wouldn't want to use it that context. I enjoy writing songs, it's a really good challenge, it tickles me. It's a wonderful way to engage with your surroundings, through poetry and songs.

I couldn't write a political song. There's just opinion; it's all arbitrary anyway. It's all subjective.

This is rock'n'roll, not classical music. It's about people working together.

I don't know about timeless. I actually think most of what I do is completely modern, but universally modern. Who decides what timeless even means? Are the things that we consider timeless now going to, in fact, be considered timeless in 300 years? Probably not.

Once biographical information contaminates your consciousness, it's impossible to erase it and look at someone's work the same way again.

People just wanna see someone talking about themselves constantly. I'm not interested in that.

As long as there are a few people there, I can lose myself, which is the ultimate goal. And that's happening more and more; the non-musical world is becoming less and less interesting to me.
