Making the record was tons of fun, the most fun I've ever had.

I honestly don't listen to a lot of music - I spend so much time working at my own music.

Writing, overall, has never been what I'd call fun. It's fulfilling. It doesn't come real easy for me.

We got CEOs making 200 times the worker's pay, but they'll fight like hell against raising the minimum wage.

Maybe I spent more time dwelling on emotions than some people, and maybe that's why I ended up writing.

I've always written about things that cause me to feel something.

I've always been aware of having feelings that were pretty intense at times. I imagine most people have had that, or they wouldn't be human.
