There's this whole idea that you've got the blues and you're going to write. Bullshit. When I feel really bad, all I want to do is sit in front of the TV with the remote control and check out.

I feel like it's really kind of a sit-down album, much in the same way I imagine Billie Holiday or someone sitting down in the studio and singing.

I would worry if I wasn't coming up with ideas, if I wasn't inspired.

I grew up in a very literate, very independent household where people spoke their ideas and were very supportive of helping each other find their own way

You can't be afraid to deal with your demons. You've got to go there to be able to write.

I can speak for most songwriters - those breakup love songs are so easy to write, as far as the inspiration and all that.
