If You Pour Your Life Into Songs,

What I Like About Pop Music, And Why I'm Still Attracted To It, Is That In The End It Becomes Our Folk Music.

Technology Is Huge; I Wanted To Learn About It. People Might Say That's Odd, But I Think It's Odd If Artists Aren't Interested In The World Around Them. I'm Always Chasing That.

When Those People Get Up At The Grammys And Say, "i Thank God", I Always Imagine God Going, "oh, Don't, Please Don't Thank Me For That One. Please, Oh, That's An Awful One! Don't Thank Me For That - That's A Piece Of Crap !"

If You Pour Your Life Into Songs, You Want Them To Be Heard. It's A Desire To Communicate. A Deep Desire To Communicate Inspires Songwriting.

I Love America And I Hate It. I'm Torn Between The Two. I Have Two Conflicting Visions Of America. One Is A Kind Of Dream Landscape And The Other Is A Kind Of Black Comedy.
