I think a lot of my songs are very silly and very stupid, written to entertain people, but in the end, I always come to that last line, and I feel that I have to wrap this up with a bit of dignity and a little tear in the eye; otherwise, the joke would be on the characters in the song.

I realised that music controls me more than I control music. I had to write songs that were convincing me that things would get better.

Some very silly songs can have an almost melancholy feeling when you put it in a different perspective.
