There is maybe a cynicism because of my past as a writer.
I started selling corn dogs, ended up in the music industry. That's how it all started.
I would rather put out two year-defining songs a year than flood the market with eight or nine songs.
The cool thing about writing music, writing anything, is that once you publish it, it's there forever.
I wish people would spend their money on hybrid cars.
The only thing contrived is the production - you can over-produce to the point you kill a good idea, you can under-produce so that the song's amazing but you'll have folks at a radio station saying they won't play it, so there's this balance, and it has to be true.
