How weird it was to drive streets I knew so well. What a different perspective.

I like to write about things that are extreme in some form. I like to write about something I feel I have to write about.

Yes I think I'm okay, walked into the door again.

Writing is always personal in some way but not always in a direct way.

It's striking how commercially viable that impulse for instant intimacy is right now, especially in songs and writing.

My intellect has always been more responsible than my emotions for how I respond to the world.

I think that if you have a strong narrative, if the idea of the song can be boiled down to the basics, it won't change that much.
