I'm a sucker for pop melodies, things you can't get out of your head.

Writing songs is about trying to connect with people on a deeper spiritual level - but I'm not a fan of contemporary Christian music.

I knew I could make money from songwriting, so how much and when was not really the question.

With iPhones, nobody has an excuse for writer's block. If you're at Whole Foods getting your green tea extract and you have a melody, you just drop it into your voice memo and save it for later.

I'm in an odd position because I write across so many genres for so many people and they all influence me, and if I'm going to write as honest an album as possible, it's going to be layered.

Just because a suit fits, doesn't mean it looks good. You need a tailor. You want to get bespoke.

I'm terribly forgetful. I've lost laptops, cell-phones.
