It's about the stories. If I write 14 stories that I love, then the next step is to get the environment of music around it to best envelop the story and all kinds of sonic goodness.

As a writer, as a creator, I'm giving you my experiences. But just take what I give you. You ain't got to pry beyond that.

I don't know if I ever told you this before, but you're the only one I ever waited for this long.

I feel like I was writing as I was learning to talk. Writing was always a go-to form of communication.

There's just some magic in truth and honesty and openness.

Some people focus more on sonics. Some people focus more on story. I focus on both sonics and story.

Each individual's success as a solo artist is pretty much a win for the whole team.
