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.

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

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

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