I write anywhere - when I have an idea, it's hard not to write. I used to be kind of precious about where I wrote. Everything had to be quiet and I couldn't be disturbed; it really filled my day.

In order for me to write, I have to experience life. I write the songs based on real life, and I perform them from a very real place.

I just love writing. It's magical, it's somewhere else to go, it's somewhere much more dreadful, somewhere much more exciting. Somewhere I feel I belong, possibly more than in the so-called real world.

I kind of live like a writer. I get up and I write. I've done that my whole life.

I'm always writing or playing because that is my life.

Life happens, and I write about it wherever I am.

I mostly write on my own, walking, outside.

I write music because I love it. Sometimes more than anything in the world.

Life throws up enough road blocks to keep you from writing; you can't be adding to them yourself by saying you can only write in one specific place. I'm in New York half the time and Texas half the time, and I work wherever - in my computer bag I have some foam ear plugs that I can put in.

In this day and age, you can write anywhere in the world. You can really live anywhere and have the same career.
