As far as writing, it's grown because I've really grown comfortable with who I am.

The evolution of the music is what allows it to survive.

I think a lot of times, artists and albums can become formulaic. You're known for a certain thing, and you continue to do that. You just change the subject matter, but it's the same song. And that's what you do.

I can't stand making records.

I've always made music that was representative of real life.

I don't care if I starve.

I'm not a guy who can go in and go, "Hey, are we doing right or wrong?" I just do it. And whatever it is, it is.
