Quote

I don't think I'm a political songwriter as much as I am just a political person. I think it's in my fabric.

The thing is, I'm not a prolific songwriter.

I don't set out to write a political song. I am not one of those that feels compelled to write about what's going on.

I've never written a political song. Songs can't save the world. I've gone through all that.

As a songwriter, I'm not necessarily writing about myself or my life.

First and foremost, I consider myself a songwriter.

I just don't see myself as a songwriter or a country singer or any of those things anymore. It's more trying to express ideas and emotional textures.

I never thought of myself as a songwriter. I was just an artist writing songs, and they just happened to get placed.
