My songs have always had hope and perseverance in them - I never write songs that have no escape hatch, no positivity.
I've got a life that really matters to me, and that's because of the way I was raised. My ethics are high because my parents did a great job.
Those things interest me a lot in songwriting - the human nature of how people think, and the muck that we wind up in.
You have to have a work ethic, and you have to be educated in what you're doing. You have to take it seriously. It doesn't mean that everything you do has to be serious. But you've got to have the tools.
I don't feel like I chose to do music as much as I made a decision to not stop doing music.
