Most of my songs aren't about me. They're about stuff I've seen.

Most of my songs make fun of myself.

It's a little gross to put yourself in every song. I mean, how interesting do people really think you are?

The funny thing is, people's perceptions of what a song is about is usually wrong a majority of the time. But they're still going to read what they want to into it.

Funny songs aren't usually that good. Like Weird Al and maybe a couple of Beatles songs, but it's kind of hard to bring humor into rock music in an interesting way.

It's funny, when I'm not on the road or doing stuff with Bad Company - or whatever- I've always written songs galore... a lot of stuff people don't even hear.

It bugs me that people think my songs are personal because it means I have to explain myself all the time.

Sometimes when I write songs, I don't know what they're about, and it just suddenly comes to me.

I think it's funny how excited people can get about things I say that don't have anything to do with music. I made a disparaging comment about McDonald's on Twitter once and people flipped out on me.

It's hard to believe the life that 'Someone Like You' has taken on. It's proof that people hunger for great songs - and they are open to different interpretations of songs they love.
