To Be Honest, I'm Not

The Flattery Is Nice, But Awards Don't Add Up To Writing Quality Songs.

If I'm Writing Strictly For Others, How Does That Show What I'm Experiencing Or Thinking? I Just Got To A Point Where I Realized I Could Be As Personal As I Wanted To Be And People Could Relate To Those Situations If They So Choose.

When I Was 21, I Got Into A Motorcycle Accident While Traveling In Europe And I Had To Lie Around A Lot In The Aftermath, Which Was Really The First Time In My Life That I Became Really Focused And Inspired To Write.

I've Found That In Now Having Experienced What It's Like To Make Records And Just Through Growing Up In General That You Should Be Expressive About What's Affecting You Instead Of Trying To Sing About A Subject Just For The Sake Of Other People Getting Something From It.

I Can't Say I Want To Earn A Particular Award Or Sell A Certain Number Of Records, Because Even If I Do That, The Satisfaction Only Lasts Five Minutes.
