I usually don't write songs by people calling me and saying, 'Write a song about this.' Usually I'm just going with what I want to write, so you never know.

I've written songs about things that nobody else has ever written about.

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

I don't really write songs anymore.

I tend to write songs that are about something pretty specific. A lot of them tell some kind of little made-up story.

I've always written songs since I was a kid - always.

Sometimes when I write songs, I don't know what they're about, and it just suddenly comes to me.

I try to write life and not songs. People live life, and when you write life, you're going to mess around and touch somebody's heart, and they'll relate to you and what you're singing about.
