The Song Dakota Was First Written In

Revising A Screenplay Is Much More Frustrating Than Revising A Song Because You Have To Read Through The Entire Work Again While You Are Changing Stuff. It Is A Lot Easier To Edit A Song.

Every Song I've Written, It's About What I've Gone Through, Good Or Bad. It Kind Of Comes Out Of Me, And I'm Grateful For That. I've Got Friends Who Are Back Home Who've Got No Way To Express That, And They're Kind Of In A Different Position In Life. It's Alarming To Me That I've Written Something On My Bedroom Floor When I Was 19 Or Something, And Then There's 50,000 People That Know The Words, And They've Got A Similar Feeling. If You Thought About It Too Much, Your Head Would Blow Up.

The Story Behind Every Song Is Individual To Itself.

I Don't Have A Special Place Or Ritual For Writing Songs, Basically I Write Songs Whenever An Idea Hits Me, In My Hotel Room, On The Road, In The Plane.

I Don't Really Know How To Do Anything Else Except Music. But I Do. I've Never Felt More Comfortable Doing It. When I Was Put Into Arenas And Stadiums When I Was 27, I Always Thought Somebody Was Going To Say, 'no, They're Not Here For You.' You Don't Quite Believe That They Actually Like You, Because It's An Extreme Change In Your Life. Which Is Insane Really, Because They Bought The Ticket. So You Start Feeling More Comfortable In Your Skin The More You Do Something, Or The Older You Get.
