Pride is the chief cause in the decline in the number of husbands and wives.

The lyrics aren't simple, either. They're extremely difficult because I'm trying to say complicated things in as few words as possible.

Love on the rocks, ain't no surprise. Pour me a drink and I'll tell you some lies.

Of all the songs that I've written since I was 15 or 16, every song is different every song is special, it happens in a different way and I like that.

I've finally found somebody who's up to the task of being my wife, because I'm very ... high maintenance.

When I need my wife or when I need companionship or someone to talk to, I need it, like, now. So my wife will have to give up whatever she's doing at that moment to tend to my needs. And in the same way, I would tend to hers. That's not such an easy thing to do.

Songwriting is different from music, although I don't deny now that it would be nice to have a little more background in music theory.
