I'm trying to always do new things because if you stay behind and fight the future, you are just going to be left behind.
People kept saying, 'You've made it!' and I was like, 'What have I been doing all this time?' I've always felt successful.
I told the Mucinex people, 'You picked me because I always sound sick'. They were like, 'Well, it doesn't hurt'.
When I write songs, when I sing songs, I don't have anybody in mind. I'm just trying to express what I think people are feeling.
I always like to write the songs, and they get turned loose into the world, and who knows what happens to them. That's the joy of being a songwriter. You get to hear what other people do, interpretation-wise.
I want to do things or write things that make people feel a bit more beautiful or tragic or something because there are so many other things than just funny.
For a writer, life is always too short to write. I will just try my best during what remains of my life.
When I was a boy and I would see scary things in the news, my mother would say to me, 'Look for the helpers. You will always find people who are helping.'
I realised that I had always been writing things that other people wanted me to write and not what I really wanted to write, so I felt like I was losing my way.
