I wish people would spend their money on hybrid cars.

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 can go write an absolutely saccharine pop record with a really catchy lyric for another artist that could become a hit without meaning anything to me, but that's more the science laboratory, that's the other thing.

I listen to the far left which informs the far right. Somewhere in the middle is where we end up.

The classic, quote/unquote, craft of songwriting still works; it still is relevant.

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

I'm not interested in corporate magic or fame.
