I'm a songwriter; that's where it starts. I love writing with someone that shares that same feeling of accomplishment. I'll play music for my fans as long as they'll listen, but I fancy myself as a writer first.

I can't write music unless I'm deeply connected to it and that connection almost always comes from some experience that I have had or am having.

I was always writing music anyway. I just sort of fell into it. Writing for me is a therapeutic process.

All I try to do is to write music that feels meaningful to me, that has commitment and passion behind it.

Music is just a really fun hobby that I do, because I'm actually really good about writing songs and producing. People don't realize this, but I am an excellent writer for artists.

I write music people enjoy playing and listening to, and I have a group that loves playing the music.

I love song writing, so I'm always happy to write for other musicians.

I have to be involved. Whether it's me writing by myself or with other people, I definitely want to have my hand in the creative process. That's part of why I got into music in the first place.

I always go in very emotionally when I'm doing music. Sad or happy, I'm always into it. I have a hard time writing for other people, writing with someone else in mind.

I really like writing music. That's kind of like my little hobby. I like that because sometimes you don't really have any control when you're an actor, over what you're doing next, and everything is kind of decided by other people. You're always waiting to hear from people.
