When you write, no matter what, it ends up personal.

I often write songs, and when I do, I usually write quite a few of them. I really have to be in the mood.

I tend to write it and then let go emotionally.

Mostly, I don't write overtly personal stuff.

I write really scathing, angry stuff when I'm in a better mood, and then uplifting and happy stuff when I'm at the absolute bottom.

If you write something that's personal, there's going to be elements of yourself in it.

I'm very finicky about when I'm in the right mood to write. So most days, I find some excuse not to do anything.

I never sit down to write anything personal unless I know the subject is going to go beyond my own experience and address something larger and more universal.

With relationships, I've been through a lot of different situations with different people, and I write about it.

I write from my life, my experience. I'm selfish that way.
