I'm A Big Music Fan Outside Of

When I Start Working On A Batch Of Tunes - Like Roughly 10 Solid Tunes - I Always Know There'll Be Another 10 To Follow, Because For Every Song I Invest A Lot Of Time In, There's Another Song Waiting Behind It.

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?"

I've Gotten To A Place Where I Still Love To Play And Sing, But I Don't Have Any Ego Agenda Left, Outside Of Just Wanting To Stay In A Creative Place And Play Music. I Much Prefer To Sing For Somebody Else, And To Somebody Else.

There Is Nothing Wrong With Loving The Crap Out Of Everything. Negative People Find Their Walls. So Never Apologize For Your Enthusiasm. Never. Ever. Never.

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.
