The key to songwriting is just to be able to observe, and put yourself in situations to be around people, and let those ideas come to you.

I'm not musically inclined. It blows my mind that people can write music. I don't have that talent; I look up to the people that do.

As a performer, I groove to my own songs.

As far as I'm concerned, the whole point of making music is to get it heard by as many people as possible.

If you pour your life into songs, you want them to be heard. It's a desire to communicate. A deep desire to communicate inspires songwriting.

I write other people songs. Recirculate it. It's the music business.

People write music, and the music is out there for people to interpret it how they want to.

If you don't write good music, people aren't going to listen to anything you say.

When I write a song, it is to fill a niche in people's lives. To have a song for every experience if one hadn't been written yet.

Main thing, really, is I write songs the way I wanna hear them and the way I think the people that come to our shows wanna hear them.
