I like words. Words are places, rooms, distant airs, thin and tropical. They make us feel and imagine we are more than our bodies.

I didn't have any great job prospects.

Somehow credibility comes into play if you do things that are too familiar.

I'm respected, I'm still working, what more could I ask?

You never know when you're making a memory.

I want to work and be happy.

I think I have to work to write a happy song. I write them carefully; they're simple and they're about when it's fun to walk down the street. You know? Because that's the best thing about when you're happy. It's just one little thing that makes you happy, and you're making friends. The kind of thing I can do is capture this moment.
