When I Did Have A Little Bit

I Finished 'beautiful Creature,' And I Felt Somewhat Unfulfilled. I Felt Like This Other Side Of Me Needed To Be Released. Some Of The Songs I Left Off The Album Weren't Intense Enough To Be What I Wanted. They Weren't Hard Enough.

Songwriting Is Like Editing. You Write Down All This Stuff - All This Bad, Stupid Stuff - And Then You Have To Get Rid Of Everything Except The Very Best.

I'm Able To See Humor In A Lot Of Things.

When I First Started Making Music, I Didn't Really Know What I Was Doing. I Just Wanted To Write Songs. I Didn't Have A Concept. I Didn't Think It Through. I Was Just Flailing Around Doing What Comes Naturally. It Took Me A Really Long Time To Step Back And Deal With What I Was Doing With Any Kind Of Perspective Or Self-awareness.

I Don't Think I'm Romantic At All. I Have A Lot Of Faith In The Right Thing Happening. I Don't Really Hope For A Lot Of Particulars, I Just Have Faith That The Right Thing Will Happen Most Of The Time.
