It's a little gross to put yourself in every song. I mean, how interesting do people really think you are?
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Most of my songs make fun of myself.
Most of my songs aren't about me. They're about stuff I've seen.
The funny thing is the songs that people think are about me probably aren't. And the songs that are probably are the ones they wouldn't think... so that's where it kind of is funny.
It bugs me that people think my songs are personal because it means I have to explain myself all the time.
It's interesting, because as a musician, I don't feel like I need to be on the top of the pop charts.
When I look at the majority of my own songs they really came from my own sense of personal confusion or need to express some pain or beauty - they were coming from a universal and personal place.
I think what people are attracted to about me, if anything, is my passion. People got exposed to my passion through music and song first.
I don't do any songs that I'm sick of now - sometimes even songs that I request. If I'm sick of 'em I don't do 'em even for myself.
When I'm writing, I'm constantly thinking about myself, because it's the only experience I have to draw on. And I don't see an exact reflection of myself in every face in the audience, but I know that my songs have validity to them, and that's why the fans are there.
It's very hard for me to think about my songs and attribute some significance to them.
