As long as I'm blessed and/or cursed to be alive, it's hard to see a time when I won't be making music.

If rock-and-roll is well done, there's nothing so terribly wrong with that kind of music. But the lyrics are another story.

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

I was listening to music long before rock 'n roll.

I feel like I write songs for the future or something. Not in an arrogant way, but I feel like maybe my songs were, like, before their time or something.

Music has always been my constant, my salvation. It's cliche to write that, but it's true.

Obviously I got known for some other songs early on, and some of those were rock'n'roll songs. Some of them were melodic pop songs. And I've done lots of different things, as you know, but every so often I get drawn back.

I'm working on a proper rock record, a good, old-school rock record. Finally.

I'm a great believer in not over-thinking lyrics. You might become technically better as a songwriter, but you lose what originally made your songs great.
