There's definitely a visual aspect and an emotional aspect to a song. And that harks back, for me, to theater.

That's me, I'm emotional.

I would definitely go back and do theater; I talk about theater all the time.

I think every good song tells a story, as ambiguous and vague as it may be. And if you know what a song is talking about, it can only help your performance.

I have to be involved. Whether it's me writing by myself or with other people, I definitely want to have my hand in the creative process. That's part of why I got into music in the first place.

I loved 'White Christmas' for the music aspect. I was into musical theater.
