You have to spend a lot more time on the road these days if you want to make a living with music.

When I'm a bit sad, I often go for a drive in the country, quite fast with my music up.

I can't listen to music when I'm writing. I like music best in a car or on the train.

Finding a good bus driver can be as important as finding a good musician.

I've started getting acclimated to writing on the road and on the spot. I just let whatever I feel at the time come out, instead of really sitting there and taking days to write just one song.

When you're playing such brilliant music every day, then the last thing you ever want to do is try to write something of your own that's crude and not as good.

There's an old hymn called 'How Can I Keep from Singing?' That's what writing feels like to me. I have to write. It's intrinsic to who I am. So it was a natural choice for me to try to pursue writing as a career. Truthfully, though, I still daydream about how fun it would be to ride on the back of a garbage truck.

I was working a corporate job, but I really wanted to do music.
