I'm just writing songs about how I feel or about how people I know feel.

If you play acoustic guitar you're the depressed, sensitive guy.

A lot of people are kind of depressed. I'm happy some of the time, and some of the time I'm not.

So if somebody writes a song that appears to have some meaning then everybody thinks that it's a really heavy song.

I actually don't think that I'm gonna sell a lot of records.

There's always that argument to make - that you're in better company historically if people don't understand what you're doing.

I didn't have a hard time making it. I had a hard time letting it go.
