I love stand-up, but the process of writing is a little more lonely. I want to keep doing both, though.

Being a songwriter does not rely on an audience or other band members or a camera. I can just sit in a room and write songs.

I'll have to get people to write songs for me right now until my own writing comes around.

You need to get outside of your comfort zone to write songs that are interesting, songs that are compelling, songs that are different from what other people are writing.

My songs tend to be about love. It drives some of the greatest songs. I'm looking forward to seeing what people make of my writing.

As a singer, I just want to try to honor what the writers create - and as someone who's trying to write songs, I just hope I can stand in their company and not embarrass myself.

I have so much music inside me I'm just trying to stay afloat. I don't tend to write for a particular band - you have to just write the songs and then let God into the room and let the music tell you what to do.

Early in my songwriting career, when I was learning a lot about writing songs, I'd force myself to sit down until I came up with something.

I feel like I've got a nice little niche where I stay just below the radar, which is perfect. I just don't want to be known for anything other than music.
