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

For a long time I was interested in being a social worker. In a lot of ways I feel that that's all my music is, trying to help people.

I never set out to write songs about the world around me... it just kind of came about as a result of paying more attention to things.

I don't know what other people are like, I haven't been able to crawl inside anybody else.

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

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

My guitar is really tempermental. I don't give up on it though, I'm close to my guitar!
