And I've been walking 'round with memories way too long.

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.

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

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

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

If something bothers me, it bothers me for a long time until I find a way to work it out. Music provided me with a means of working things out.

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