In my opinion, I think sarcasm and humor in a song, without turning it into a novelty song, is really charming.

I'm not an extremely prolific writer. I don't write songs all the time.

I really didn't think about song writing.

Writing songs is like capturing birds without killing them. Sometimes you end up with nothing but a mouthful of feathers.

I'm not like a professional writer with professional skills. Songs kind of come into my head the same way they did when I was a kid. I say I'm an overgrown kindergarten kid. I work on songs.

Writing songs is really about writing. It's not about necessarily focusing on one particular style or making it one particular thing.

It's a gift that I have and I became good at it. When I heard my first song I didn't even know that I could write songs.

I always wrote poetry and stuff like that, so putting songs together wasn't that spectacular.

When I'm writing a song, I'm just making stuff up as I go along.
