You know, it's funny how songs continue to grow and evolve and become a new and deeper reflection of your life.

I'm sure that the meaning of the songs that I've written will change for me over the years, the same way that I can't even say what inspired some of the songs that I've been singing for a long time anymore.

When you write a song, a song has longevity.

People's lives change dramatically over such a long time period, and I think that if you're still vital, and you're still interested in writing and things like that, of course your music evolves and reflects where you are in your life.

Whatever I write has to evolve around my taste in music at that moment, because that always changes.

If certain songs become popular enough to the point where I'll be playing them the rest of my life, I don't want them all to dwell on the same down moment that I'll have to keep reliving.

I never see songs as permanent. I'm always in a state of revising everything.

I sometimes don't know what songs are about for several years after I've written them.

If I like a song, I'll just keep playing it, and it never gets old.

It's hard to write new stuff when the songs you have written before are still changing and evolving. It would be like building something when the foundations there are not really solid.
