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.

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

As a sports fan, the Los Angeles Kings winning the Stanley Cup makes me feel very alive.

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

I've learned that love takes priority.

I was able to truly immerse myself in the record-making process. I'm excited about music.
