I Don't Want To Hear Songs About How Sunshiny Things Are. I Don't Like Songs That Feel Like Radio Candy I Like The Ones That Make You Think, Laugh Or Cry - They Pull Some Kind Of Emotion Out Of You.

I Love The Road. That's Always Been My Goal. I've Said That To Many Record Labels. I Want To Make Records. The Road Is My Favorite. Some People Hate The Road, I Love The Road.

I Am So Anti-people's Opinions When I'm Making A Record, But When It's Finished And I Put It Out There, I Hope Somebody Likes It.

I Try Never To Focus On The Radio, Just Find Great Songs, Find Emotion And Just Write The Best Songs You Can. I Think When You Get Fixated On Trying To Do Something Too Accurate, It Becomes More Washed Out And Less What You Intended It To Be. So I Think Each Time The Challenge For Me Is To Try And Reinvent A Little Bit.
