I know I'm not musically talented.

I get a different kind of lyric from someone else that might make me go in a different musical direction.

When I look at the arc of my career, my focus is on lyricism, right? I own that.

I'm influenced by all types of music.

The fact I have an education forms my lyrical style, I'm sure. I studied the social sciences, history, stuff like that. I have an interest in politics, which maybe works its way into the songs in small, subtle ways.

I fell into lyric writing because of music. I backed into it.

I always start with the music and then try to figure out what I want to write about lyrically.

I don't think I'm a good-enough songwriter.
