Songwriting is hard - it's so easy to fall into the same traps. It's not like I wake up and songs flow out of me.

I think a lot of people study the rules too much and then don't know how to be creative.

Forgive them even if they are not sorry

I'm really grateful. But I never had the rock star dream. I thought it would be cool to be a modern-day composer.

I'd like to just get to a point where maybe we can say something that will be matterful. That's definitely not a word, by the way.

There are so many little places I want to play, sometimes weird places I think would be fun to play... a bar that's half full.

It's like an inner struggle for me, between saying I don't give a **** and trying to make it work. You want to do the right thing, but I'm sick of people thinking I'm difficult.
