I start a lot more songs than I finish, because I realize when I get into them, they're no good. I don't throw them away, I just put them away, store them, get them out of sight. ↗

My career was really odd, because I literally had a greatest hits album out and nobody knew who I was. They knew the songs, but they didn't know me. ↗

I'm writing a record of comedy songs. I'm doing all these collaborations with artists. I bring them lyrics and they write the music to it. ↗

Real popular culture is folk art - coalminers' songs and so forth. ↗
