We live in a connected world now. Some find that frightening. If people are downloading our music, they're listening to it. The internet is like radio for us.

That's something that I think as a songwriter you have to ask yourself - why you're doing it. The world certainly doesn't need more songs. Are you doing it just for your ego?

Once you're an addict, you're always an addict, so just because I found something good to do doesn't mean I'm not going to hurt myself doing it.

I don't believe every download is a lost sale.
