To the outside world, I was pretty bad at everything my whole life. People didn't credit me for my musicianship.
My dad raised me on everything from his music to Stevie Wonder to A Tribe Called Quest. I learned the 'Midnight Marauders' album in and out.
I just am really bad at making new friends - especially in the music industry, because they're not really real friends; they're just music industry friends.
If I talk to a new guy, it's because the old guy bores me, and I already wrote a bunch of songs about him.
As far as songwriting, I'm not sure if they wrote all of their own stuff, but I love the Dixie Chicks.
My songs are always on the tip of my tongue. It's always bubbling and brewing and about to come out. I can't really put it into words, but the best way to explain it is feeling like you constantly have some things on the tip of your tongue.
