When I Write, I Don't Really Focus

The Issue I Focus On The Most Is Extreme Poverty. I Think It's Kind Of Out Of Sight Out Of Mind. I Wish There Would Be More Stories About That To Connect People To What's Happening. To Personalize It, To Make It Real To People, To Inspire Them To Action.

I Think It's Hard To Really Write A Song That Will Educate Someone Because Songs Are Meant To Be ... You Don't Want To Be Too Didactic In A Song Because It Doesn't Make For Good Music. And I Think The Role Of Songs Can Be To Inspire People But There Needs To Education And Prose To Back That Up.

I Guess A Lot Of Times Pressure Is Put On Something After It Becomes Big.

We Want To Do Things That Are Interesting, Great Storytelling, Some Of It Is Gonna Be More Fun And Funny, Some Of It Is More Serious And Talking About Interesting Issues That We Think Are Provocative And Interesting To Us. Kind Of On A More Political Level. But, You Know, Just Things That We Find Interesting That We Think Stories That Need To Be Told.
