I just wrote one song at a time. Kinda like an alcoholic. One day at a time.

I've written songs sober and I've written songs high.

I write songs about stuff that I can't really get past personally - and then I write a song about it and I feel better.

I love drugs, but I hate hangovers, and the hatred of the hangover wins by a landslide every time.

Early in my songwriting career, when I was learning a lot about writing songs, I'd force myself to sit down until I came up with something.

The real danger of writing a great song when you're on something is that it might get you thinking that the only way to repeat that is by only writing when you're high.

I don't really write songs anymore.

I've always gravitated towards songwriting that happens easily and spontaneously, because those have always been my best songs.

I'm one of those people that I make a song... then I write another song and then I'm like, 'But this song is so much better than this song,' and then I kind of ditch that song. It's a long process.

I've always been trying to write songs that hit you in the stomach but ones that make people feel like things will be just fine.
