Writing songs is about trying to connect with people on a deeper spiritual level - but I'm not a fan of contemporary Christian music.

It seems to me that those songs that have been any good, I have nothing much to do with the writing of them. The words have just crawled down my sleeve and come out on the page.

I really like worship music. It settles my soul. Gets me back on track. The lyrics are almost like a prayer, so it's my go-to.

My songs tend to be about love. It drives some of the greatest songs. I'm looking forward to seeing what people make of my writing.

No, no, the songs write themselves, almost.

It's the coolest part about writing music. I don't know how other people work, but so much is derived from some amalgamation of all these different songs that I love. That's why they jump all over the place.

I didn't write those songs, but I can relate to every one of them... I have.

After playing so many songs in churches for eight or nine years, I've learned what songs people react to. Then I just had fun with the arrangements. That's how this album came together.

I think probably the only thing that is around in these songs is that I was really lonely when I wrote a lot of them. But it was really by my own choosing because I was devoting myself to songwriting and dancing and I wasn't really going out and seeing people.

I've always loved both writing and songwriting. The journey is fascinating to me.
