I'm a songwriter, that's what I love.

One other thing, if it's possible, as songwriters, you should also develop yourself as record producers.

I'm still trying to make it. I'm still trying to get this over and do it and hopefully leave some kind of a mark on the course of American music, particularly in the tradition of what you might call the singer-songwriter.

I'm a songwriter who just wants to bring people great songs.

I'm a songwriter first.

As a songwriter, that's really what you hope for - to make that connection with your audience.

I want to be the number one songwriter-producer guy of all time.

I started being a songwriter pretending I could do it, and it turned out I could.

I'm pretty much living my dream job, but one day I would love to dedicate more time to writing and performing my own music.

If anything, I want to be seen as a singer-songwriter rather than a pop artist.
