I've come more to terms with the fact that I sound like myself. No matter what I do, I sound like myself.

I have this idealistic and maybe naive thought that almost any song can be anything. If you record one song today, it would maybe be exciting and cool. But I could record the same song next week and it would be something completely different.

I started trying to write songs when I was 8 or 9 years old.

I sometimes try to write something that is actually really simple and I can't do it. So, then, it's not simple anymore. It's really hard and it gets all messed up. I sometimes sit down and try to write a song with just three chords and it doesn't work.

Sometimes you make a record that is what you want to hear. I've made a couple of those, idealized creations of what I wanted to hear. Then there are records that are what you feel.

I usually enter the studio with a mix of songs that I've been listening to that are relevant to the sound I want to achieve.

Sometimes, you can't seem to find any song on the radio that you like.
