How did this or that change my music? The only time I have to think about it is when an interviewer asks me that.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Music used to be a more personal thing, and it defined who you were. Now it's like wallpaper.
Music used to change people's minds - and it still changes mine.
Before I wasn't sure what I wanted to say, but now, I have had so many different experiences that they have given me what I want to get across in my music.
In music, I wanted to make sure I was innovating.
Early in my career, people wanted to hear music about protest, about trying to change things.
I have a pretty healthy perspective on what my past music was.
Obviously the biggest change is that it's me by myself. When you don't have another band interpreting your songs or playing them the way that they have, it's bound to sound different.
I think the feelings in my music were suggested to me before I even had the ability to play music.
People have told me that other artists have been influenced by my music, and it's flattering. It's a wonderful thing.
People come up to me and say, 'You changed my life.' I don't think I changed anyone's life. I think their life changed while they were listening to the music.
