I've learned that love takes priority.

If prolific is writing a lot of songs, I'm that. If it's writing a lot of good songs, I'm something else.

As a songwriter, I think that comes with the territory. The older you get, you like to say it doesn't matter, but you care what people think about what you do.

In so many of my songs, I'm trying to touch on various aspects of love.

Musically, there's probably nothing better than, after spending weeks or months of grinding on a lyric or a song, when you play a good song from beginning to end for the first time - there's a moment there where all the pain and suffering is worth it.

Usually it is a painful process (writing), "Superman" came in 45 minutes; "100 Years" in four months.

We all have our fears, our insecurities. I'm not different from anyone else.
