My songs, well, they are sad, but in all of them the person singing them - me or whoever - is actually still trying and hasn't given up yet.

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.

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

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

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

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