In music, you learn a lot of things when you don't know what you're doing.

I think you just have to have some rapport with the song.

I don't think anyone wants to do the same thing over and over again.

It's hard to write any good song. It seems more rewarding, or maybe just easier, to write sad ones.

I think one of the best things you can do is write really sad songs that touch some semblance of... I guess 'hope' is the right word?

I don't really need to appeal to some stockbroker, and I always sort of root for the underdog. I probably consider all that when I'm writing, but it's not in the forefront of my brain.
