Is It Possible To Love Someone Too

I Got On The Phone With The President Of My Label And I Said, "obviously, I Write Songs In A Lot Of Styles And Play A Lot Of Different Kinds Of Music. We're Getting Toward The End Of Our Business Collaboration. If You Could Envision A Record That You Wanted To Hear From Me, What Kind Of Record Would It Be?" It Wasn't Like Asking Him To Fill An Order, It Was Really Just A Conversation. For All The Things I'd Ever Asked Him, This Was One Thing I'd Never Asked, And I Don't Know Why. So I Was Curious. And The Thing That He Was Most Interested In Hearing Was A Solo Record.

When I'm In New York, I Just Want To Walk Down The Street And Feel This Thing, Like I'm In A Movie.

On Heartbreaker, I Had To Sing Those Songs. I Drank The Way I Did Those Songs. I Ate The Way I Did Those Songs. I Communicated The Way I Did Those Songs.

There Are Times When I Want To Be Plainspoken About My Feelings In A Song. But There Are Other Times When It's Really Good To Try And Get My Head Around Different Kinds Of Song Structures, Or Maybe I Might Get Turned On By Trying To Write A Song That Would Fit In This One Scene In A Movie. And By The End Of All This, You Just End Up With A Bunch Of Different Ideas. And Songs Are Really Just Ideas.

For Me, A Record Is Valid When I Actually Hold The Vinyl. Like, I've Worked On The Art For A While And I See The Vinyl And I Go "ooh, It's An Actual Lp. How Cool Is That?" That's Very Sacred To Me. You Can't Take That Back, You Know?
