I'm Actually A Pretty Upbeat Person Outside Of Playing Music.

I Always Have To Remember That I Am The Narrator, But It Doesn't Have To Be About Me. A Lot Of Songwriting Is About Trying To Use What Part Of Me Is Valid In Telling The Story. I Don't Want To Overcook It, You Know? Sometimes It Seems That's Really Where The Work Is.

For Any Producer I've Ever Worked With, Their Toughest Job Is To Convince Me To Not To Obscure My Vocals. A Lot Of People Don't Like The Sound Of Their Own Voice On, Like, Cassette Tape Or Something. It's Like That For Me, And Other Songwriters I Know. Like, "oh God, That's What I Sound Like?"

Maybe I Am A Jerk Sometimes. Maybe I'm Not. I Think Most People Are Kind Of A Jerk Once In A While.
