I always have to be thinking about who's going to be singing this song, what the context is. I don't sit around just writing in a vacuum, ever.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I'm about to sing the song for the future.
Whoever best serves the song is going to be served by the song.
I'm not deciding what the artist is going to write about because it's the artist. They're gonna have to sing that song for the rest of their life. When they're old and they're 80 and they have their show in Vegas, they're gonna have to sing that song for the rest of their life.
I'm quite good at knowing, 'This isn't right for me,' or, 'That person will be really good at singing that.'
Anyone who wants to know who I am can just read my lyrics - I've always written about who I am.
You're going to be entertained. But when you finish hearing me singing, you're going to want to keep going, and you're going to keep believing and that's the kind of artist I am.
I will always be singing.
I really can't imagine not singing again.
When I write, I don't have any expectation of what kind of song it will become or who it might reach.
I couldn't imagine having to write a paper and have to think about what song I am going to sing.
