For The Last Few Years, It's Been

I Never Sit Down To Write. When I'm Moved, I Do It. I Just Wait For It To Come. You Just Hear It. I Can't Really Describe Writing. It's In My Head. I Don't Think About The Styles. I Write Whatever Comes Out And I Use Whatever Kind Of Instrumentation Works For Those Songs...a Lot Of People Don't Listen To The Lyrics, Really. A Lot Of People Pretty Much Only Listen To The Chorus.

I Enjoy What People At The Concert Give Me And I Can't Do It Without Them, So It's Really An Exchange Of Energy That Snowballs Back And Forth And Becomes Something That's Very Satisfying And Very Magical.

I Am Still Into The People I Listened To Growing Up, So I Completely Remember What Is Like To Be A Fan, I Haven't Changed.

People Always Accuse Me Of Being Motivational In A Way, Like It Was A Bad Thing, But That's Just How I Was Raised. My Mom Raised Me In A Positive Environment, With Lots Of Love In My Heart, And That Reflects In My Music.

It Doesn't Take A Lot To Get Me Motivated. I'm A Studio Rat. When I Was In High School And I Would Walk Into A Recording Studio, It Felt Like This Magical Place, This Temple, This Womb That I Could Escape Into.
