I'd hate to be a songwriter starting a career today.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
The thing is, I'm not a prolific songwriter.
I didn't mean to be a songwriter; I just was writing for fun, you have all day to do it. I was homeless so that's all I had to do.
When I first started out in this business, it was easy because nobody wanted anything from me. But now everyone wants something from me, so it's hard to break away and just be a songwriter.
I started being a songwriter pretending I could do it, and it turned out I could.
If anything, I want to be seen as a singer-songwriter rather than a pop artist.
You don't just wake up one morning and decide to become a singer-songwriter.
If I had to drop everything and just be a songwriter, I would be OK with that because that's the real joy.
I'm a songwriter, that's what I love.
I'm a songwriter and I'd love to make that a part of my career.
I only wanted to be a songwriter. I never wanted to be a singer. And I never wanted to be famous.
