I didn't realize at the time that if I wrote about something, I was going to have to talk about something. A lot. Ad nauseum.

I like garage band for writing because you only have crayons and there are only five crayons in the box. Your choices are limited and I find that to be very good for me.

As I've gotten older, I have gotten a lot better at finding the pleasures of making music despite the business of it.

It's funny because my main awkwardness around writing the song had little to do with the method.

Mostly, the people in "the room" are paid lobbyists representing interests that could afford to pay them. No wonder policy isn't being made that helps smaller, independent musicians or those unaffiliated with a larger entity.

When I'm recording something (especially because I produce my own music) I might consider how hard it would be to replicate a song on stage.

Really, everything for me comes from "Manifestra." It was an incredible gift of a song; it really describes an important moment in my life.
