When I write, I don't have any expectation of what kind of song it will become or who it might reach.

I don't write demographically. I don't write a song to reach these people or those people.

Thrift shopping is all about going into the thrift shop and having no expectation of what you might find.

I'm someone that examines culture and tries to break down why things are the way that they are whether its hip-hop music, sex, race, or consumerism. I try to examine it and scrutinize it to the point where I can write a song.

I'm not in any rush. I'm not somebody who, if I write a song, I get it out. That's not something I've ever really quite done.

When something is bothering me, I write a song that tells my feelings.
