I'm still learning a lot as a songwriter. I try to write down and make a note of ideas that I cross paths with on a day-to-day basis, whether it be a conversation or something I hear on the radio, seeing a movie, or just thoughts in my head as I'm walking down the street.
Maybe one day music will just be music, and there won't be these categories; it'll just be different shades of music.
I like disagreement because it forces both sides to question their own opinions and why they feel that way.
You want to stand out and be unique and do something different. I always try to zig when they zag - I guess it's a football term, but it applies to a lot of different areas of life.
It took me a couple years to get over the stereotype I was letting myself get caught up on, being a football player trying to start a career in music.
