I'm Definitely In The Market For Being Uncool. There Was Some Funny Stuff, Like The Thing About Making Sure I Show People That I Have Tattoos And Cigarettes So That They Know I'm Badass. But Really, I Do Have Tattoos! And I Do Smoke Cigarettes Sometimes, And I Can't Change That. But I Am Not Badass, By Any Means. I Do Some Stuff That's Tongue-in-cheek, And Some Stuff That's On The Line. And It Could Be Funny, It Could Be Serious, And I Never Even Know Myself, Because It Could Be Funny That Day, And The Next Day It's Totally Embarrassing.

A Lot Of My Songs, They're Like Puzzle Pieces, And There's Just One Way To Put Them Together. You Could, If You Needed To, Get The Scissors Out And Cut Up Things To Make Them Work. But I Don't Want To Do That.

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.

What I Love Most In Life Happens To Be The Very Thing That I Do Day-to-day, As My Work. What Would Be My Hobby, You Know, Happens To Be My Actual Job. So I'm Very Lucky. Even If I Didn't Want To Do As Much Work As I Do, I'd Still Feel Compelled To, Because I So Longed To Be A Full-time Artist, And Since I've Been Given That Opportunity, I'd Never Want To Let Down The Gift.

Writing And Creating, Those Things Come To Me On Their Own. I Feel Like... You Sort Of Summon Them And It's Like Allowing The Universe To Enter Your Heart In An Entirely Different Way To What It Normally Does. It's Like Inviting That Energy Of The Universe To Enter Into Your Craft In A Way Where It Has A Meaning.

The Weirdest Thing I've Been Fascinated With Nowadays Is The New Contemporary Country Music, Which To Me Sounds Like Very Strange '70s Pop, And Sometimes Like Rock Music. But Some Of The Themes In There - Maybe It's Because I Know How The Songs Were Written, But It Really Does Sound Like It Was Written By Two Or Three People, With The Idea To Appeal To The Most General Audience.
