When you ask a songwriter, "What's your favorite song?" he goes, "The next one."

The funny thing is, people's perceptions of what a song is about is usually wrong a majority of the time. But they're still going to read what they want to into it.

Music is like having a conversation. All musicians inspire each other, and they're all geared to play something that matters.
