Well, what's interesting, I try not to think about the radio when I'm writing a song. I want people to love the song, and that means it might not be exactly thinking about the radio, but it's thinking about your audience and saying, 'I want people to like this song after it's done.'

I have a real issue with radio these days. I just am not into the current music.

When I hear other artists talk, they talk about 'How come radio's not playing my song?' Well, you have to look at it under a microscope and know that each station is just trying to do what's right for their market, and it's scary for a radio station to add a song that they don't know how well it's gonna do for them.

Creativity shouldn't be following radio; it should be the other way around.

I guess I would definitely feel a bit of a void in what people are getting from music these days. And I think that the problem lies not so much on the listener. People kind of listen to what is presented to them, whether it be on the radio or at a local venue.

I don't listen to a lot of radio today. It's not really music to me.

I think we're going to have to forget about the radio and just go back to word of mouth.

I have always been aware that you have to get people listening before you can change their minds. Any artist's big fear is being ignored, so if you get debate, that's great.

I'm never scared what people are gonna think about music that I make.

I'm gonna be honest. I don't care about much. I care about people liking my music. I made it very far without nothing being on radio.
