Songs seem to take me a long time. I don't know why; they're not especially excellent for taking so long.

In the beginning, I found it hard to give my songs away, but now I've realised it's exciting, and it's only making me better.

My main objective with every album is to capture a moment in time, which usually makes the whole process very relaxing. I only discover in retrospect when looking back at the songs how my life is going!

I never have any problem getting enthusiastic with a good song and a good band.

I'm getting bored performing the same songs over and over. Songwriting comes and goes.

It's frustrating to do albums that you think are worth listening to, but it's just so difficult to cut through.

But I'm able to just keep going, and that's the challenge. It's the next song. And then just enjoying the shows and people who come out to the shows. It's pretty organic, really.

Songs always get better after you start playing them live.

Songs are really interesting in that way. Sometimes, they grow with you. Sometimes, you outgrow them.

It's easy to make an album full of great songs. But I want people to go for the ride. The songs have to make sense together.
