I like films that go a little more daring visually, and story-based stuff that usually reflects pretty closely to what real life is.

I write songs so that people can make them into what it means to them as well.

People can smell the bullshit and see through the curtains. People know when something's real and when something isn't, and when some dude really means what he's saying or singing, or when he doesn't.

I think especially since going solo it's pretty clear that I'm completely being myself.

I'm not bashing people who write songs that are just 'get on the dance floor and party party', I understand why people need those songs too, but I don't really write lyrics like that.

I'd say Ernest Hemingway would be a blast to get drunk with.

Writing a great song is not a simple task, but I feel like when everything comes together and you sing it in a certain way that no-one else can sing it, when it's written in a certain way that's perfect for the way that you're performing it, that those are the things that make a song great.
