If I had to drop everything and just be a songwriter, I would be OK with that because that's the real joy.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
My own personal goal is I just hope to still write songs and kind of let that sustain me as a job. If I could never have a 9-to-5 job, and making a living doing this, it'd just be incredible.
If I find myself just not feeling like writing songs anymore, I think I'll drop it. There's enough bad, insincere music out there. I don't need to contribute to that.
When I first started out in this business, it was easy because nobody wanted anything from me. But now everyone wants something from me, so it's hard to break away and just be a songwriter.
One of my goals from really early on was that if I was ever fortunate enough to be successful in music, I would want to stay the same person and the same songwriter.
I'm so happy to be a song-writer - I'm even surprised when I get to record anything. I consider it a considerable privilege and a blessing to have a medium of expression that has a place in the world.
I'm a songwriter and I'd love to make that a part of my career.
I'd hate to be a songwriter starting a career today.
Being a songwriter is really the base of being an artist, for me.
I always wanted to be an artist; being a songwriter for myself was always a must but being a songwriter for others has been a bonus.
I'm a songwriter, that's what I love.
