But at this phase of my life, I want to write and not have to think about whether a song is going to be a hit. I want to explore the music that inspires me, and I don't want to ape myself.

I'm not an extremely prolific writer. I don't write songs all the time.

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.

I really just tried to make a record full of great songs, which is the goal I always have.

My own personal goal is I just hope to still write songs and kind of let that sustain me as a job. If I could never have a 9-to-5 job, and making a living doing this, it'd just be incredible.

All I try to do is to write music that feels meaningful to me, that has commitment and passion behind it.

If I find myself just not feeling like writing songs anymore, I think I'll drop it. There's enough bad, insincere music out there. I don't need to contribute to that.

I don't really write songs anymore.

I have writing songs on my own for about six years.

I just know that I love to write songs, and I have for a long time.
