I'm not afraid to write my feelings in songs. ↗

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. ↗

If I do a song where I'm angry, when it's time to perform it live I'm not mad, I'm happy. I'm at a concert. But I have to somehow drum up that rage. That's acting. ↗

I try to find little things that you can do to move the song along and things that serve the song. ↗

You can go crazy and play solos in the right place, and that's great because it can intensify and bring an emotional lift. But the thing is you don't want to get in the way of the song. ↗

At one time musical theater, particularly in the '40s and '50s, was a big source of pop songs. That's how musical theater started, really - it was just a way of linking several pop songs for the stage. ↗
