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. ↗

It is a process of discovery. It's being quiet enough and undisturbed enough for a period of time so that the songs can begin to sort of peek out, and you begin to have emotional experiences in a musical way. ↗

When you write a song, it may come from a personal space, but it very seldom actually represents you. It comes out of a sort of mood of melancholy, somehow. It's almost theatrical. ↗

It's nice to finally have a CD out which reflects my songwriting, my singing and the band that I have. ↗

I didn't think of myself as a lead player, especially when we did live shows, because me and Keith used to switch around all the time. He'd take a lead, I'd play rhythm. Sometimes even within one song. It wasn't strict and regimented. ↗

I've written lots of songs on the piano. My mother had a piano and it was the first instrument I played. ↗
