Quote

Most of my songs aren't about me. They're about stuff I've seen.

I look at my music in the beginning, and the sexual songs, the partying songs, those are the realities because those things happen.

I will say that a lot of songs that I've written are from my own personal experiences which are special to me.

I am a songwriter. I do get to put my personal experiences in song.

Not to take anything away from artists who don't write their own songs, but it's always been important to me to make sure it's my story.

The songs are inspired by my experiences. Sometimes they are more than my real-life and, conversely, my life is more than just my songs.

All of my songs are autobiographical.

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

I do know the effect that music still has on me - I'm completely vulnerable to it. I'm seduced by it.
