I Get Embarrassed A Lot Of Times

I Put Myself Out There; It's Part Of My Job, And I Get It: People Will Attack Me. At First I Was Thrown Off, But Now I Have A Pretty Thick Skin About It.

It's Very Much A Piece Of Myself When I Write A Song. I Don't Mean To Say It's Very Personal, Like The Lyrics Mean Something Personal To Me. When I Write A Song, That's My Taste In Music - My Taste In Chord Progressions And Melodies.

I Don't Like Business Talkers, You Know, People Who Are Constantly Like, 'blah Blah Blah Movies.' I Find It Incredibly Boring.

I'm Always Interested In Hearing How Other People Read And React To My Songs. I Hadn't Thought Of It In Just That Way. One Of The Things I Love About Doing Things That Are Creative Is That I Feel Like It's My Right As An Artist Not To Be Affected By The Reactions Of Those People That Are Going To Hear My Songs. But I Also Feel Like It's The Right Of The People Hearing Them To Have Their Own Interpretations Of What These Songs Mean. Sometimes People Will See Things That I Don't See.

I've Been Writing Music Since I Was About Eight. I Would Write Sporadically. I Wrote A Lot Of Music In High School. I Guess The Oldest Song On The Record ("i Thought I Saw Your Face") Is About Eight Years Old. It's The Old "i Had My Whole Life To Write My First Album And Six Months To Write The Second One." I Did, To Some Degree, But Actually, A Lot Of The Songs That Ended Up On The Record, I Wrote Really Recently. So It Varies.
