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.

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.

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

Once you have kids and you're married, it's all about them. My life changed. You can see in my records.

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.

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