No matter how long what I'm doing here lasts, I want to be a songwriter for the rest of my life. I love it and it's my escape. ↗

I love being a very personal singer-songwriter, but I also like being a scientist or explorer. ↗

What is qualified? What have I been qualified for in my life? I haven't been qualified to be a mayor. I'm not qualified to be a songwriter. I'm not qualified to be a TV producer. I'm not qualified to be a successful businessman. And so, I don't know what qualified means. ↗

I can speak for most songwriters - those breakup love songs are so easy to write, as far as the inspiration and all that. ↗

I didn't mean to be a songwriter; I just was writing for fun, you have all day to do it. I was homeless so that's all I had to do. ↗

We only had enough money really to cut 10 things and be in there for a month because it's expensive, you know. And, singer/songwriters, today are lucky if they can get a deal, you know. So, we actually worked so fast that we really cut 20 things. ↗

'Clown' was written when I couldn't find anyone who believed in me as an artist. Maybe those labels will think twice next time a young songwriter comes along. ↗

I built a reputation as a songwriter in the industry before my own hits. People were used to coming to me for songs. There were songs like 'Clown' and 'Mountains' that were my songs that I wanted to keep. But the record labels saw me as a songwriter. It was hard to get people to believe in me as an artist. ↗

It's a songwriter's dream to have a song recorded and run up the charts. ↗

I honestly don't class myself as a songwriter. I've got 'musician' written on my passport. That's even funnier. ↗
