Songwriting isn't always something that's directly proportionate to the experience.

I'm not one of those artists who doesn't want to play their most popular songs.

It really is, to see that this kind of music is still so popular.

To me, there's two kinds of music these days. There's ephemeral music, and there's music that has lasting power and depth.

Extreme volume in music very often disguises a lack of actually important content.

Popular music has always had its really horrendous stuff.

It's just that a lot of songs that are popular right now, they don't have any meaning.

I hate that if you do one style of music or become really well known for that one song, that everything that comes after has to fit that mold.

To the average mind popular music would mean compositions vulgarly conceived and commonplace in their treatment. That is absolutely false.

Now, in music, it seems more like the popular crowd suppresses anyone who is different.
