I feel some kind of duty to be really, really honest as a writer. The same is true of my songwriting.

When I first started making music, I didn't really know what I was doing. I just wanted to write songs. I didn't have a concept. I didn't think it through. I was just flailing around doing what comes naturally. It took me a really long time to step back and deal with what I was doing with any kind of perspective or self-awareness.

You think you know who you are, and then other people have these other ideas.
