Texting Is Apocalyptic On Some

When I Start To Write A Song, I Initially Fall Into Patterns And Creative Habits That Are Familiar, And Because They're Familiar, They Sound Convincing. It's Important For Me To Not Pursue Those Ideas, Because I've Already Done Them, But To Find Ideas That Are Different And Feel Strange To Write And Disconcerting To Write.

I'm Unable To Really Write The Kind Of Song That Doesn't Have A Visual Element, Which Most Songs Don't.

I'm Not Saying This In A Condescending Kind Of Way, But It's Quite Simple: The Making Of America Was A Heroic Thing. Australia Has A Much Murkier, Much More Complex View Of Its History. It's Just Full Of All These Open Wounds We Don't Really Know What To Do With.

My Responsibility As An Artist Is To Turn Up At The Page Or The Piano Or The Microphone. The Rest Is Up To God.

It's A Wonderful Life If You Can Find It.
