The words of the songs speak for themselves.

Writing songs is super intimate. It's a bit like getting naked.

I stay way from that area, and there's only so many songs you can write about love, sex and death.

Instead of slashing my wrists, I just write a bunch of really crummy songs.

Sometimes, I write '60s or '80s style pop songs.

There's no huge, deep message in any of the songs. We recorded a few months of being human.

Our perception of songs that we've written... the meaning changes from day to day... to whatever stage we're at in our life and careers.

The songs are about things that we were thinking and we wrote 'em down, and when you listen to 'em, whatever you think it's about... THAT'S what it's about!

Songs suffer at the mercy of the performer.

In the past, some of the songs that were the most fun, and the most entertaining and rocking, fell by the wayside because I was concerned with what I was going to say and how I was going to say it.

Being a songwriter does not rely on an audience or other band members or a camera. I can just sit in a room and write songs.

I've been writing songs since I was 14 years old, and that's my true love.

I just like simplicity. I like simple songs, I like simple chords, simple vocals, simple lead guitar. I just like simplicity. That's just the way I like it.

I love the fact that 35 years later, I still hear my songs on the radio.

I love my songs, let's not get crazy here.
