I write most of my songs when I'm in a bad mood.

I often start writing in order to excite an expansive emotion.

I usually write when I'm in a great place. When I'm depressed, I don't usually write. So I take all of when I'm depressed and throw it into when I'm feeling good. Weird, I guess.

I like to write with a lot of emotion and a lot of power. Sometimes I overdo it; sometimes my prose is a little bit too purple, and I know that.

In everything I write, I'm always striving to hit the right mix of light and darkness, humor and pain, fun and seriousness.

Writing is my therapy. My feelings build up inside of me and then I sit down and write a song.

I write songs about real things... The subject dictates the mood and it goes from there, really.

I often write songs, and when I do, I usually write quite a few of them. I really have to be in the mood.

I write music, really, to make myself feel better.
