By 17, I Had A Whole Band

You Know, Most Of My Career I Wrote About Moments In Time. All Of Us Have Felt One Thing Or Another And It Didn't Last Very Long. Now I'm Drawing From Real Experience. It's A Huge Difference.

I Started As A Writer And When I Sent My Demos Out Everyone Wanted To Know Who Was Singing And If That Person Wanted A Record Deal.

I Was A Nerd Academically. But I Was Also An Athlete And A Musician. I Never Wanted To Be Shut Out Of Any Situation. I Think It Was That More Than Anything.

I Write About Moments, And I Don't Make Blanket Statements About Anything Because No One Has All The Answers; Nobody's Come Up With A Foolproof Way To Do Anything When It Comes To Emotions.

I'm Creating Music - It Doesn't Matter If Anyone Else Likes It.
