And if you're horrible to me I'm going to write a song about you and you are not going to like it. That's how I operate. ↗

I write songs that are like diary entries. I have to do it in order to feel sane. ↗

Most of the time, songs that I write end up being finished in 30 minutes or less. ↗

Songwriting is too mysterious and uncontrolled a process for me to direct it towards any one thing. ↗

Some of those songs, you really have to bite them. You challenge yourself, you challenge the audience, you do something different. People weren't expecting it. ↗

I don't think you need a record deal to write songs. You don't need any other reason than you want to do it. It's a far cry from why some people do music today. They make it to order, which is pretty horrible. ↗

I don't know too many people because I stay at my house, I write songs, I go to the store. ↗

I had 25 or 30 songs. Sequencing the record, I left that to the producer. I'm not into doing that stuff. ↗

I just sat down and thought, I'm going to write a song today, I'm going to give it a try. So I just stuck it on a tape like everything else. That was just another song. ↗

And frankly, when I made that record, hit songs were not what I was trying to achieve. ↗
