Apply yourself. Get all the education you can, but then, by God, do something. Don't just stand there, make it happen.
It sounds like something on a very trite T-shirt, but life is what happens.
What I learned most was how to tell a story in 15 seconds or 30 seconds or 60 seconds - to have some kind of goal of what to try to do and make it happen in that time.
Usually when I write a song, I'll write the music and then kind of fit some words to it.
If I make a song where I'm happy, I sound completely mad - I think my voice is better-suited for sadder songs.
All I write about is what's happened to me and to people I know, and the better I know them, the more likely they are to be written about.
I get satisfaction when I write something I like, when I'm happy with it.
I know what my job is: I write the songs, I sing them, I play them on the piano.
I work a lot with sounds based on stream of consciousness. I like the way it sounds, then I turn it into something that makes more sense.
