The 'Down in the DM' to 'Rake It Up' to videos, the artwork... everything is 100 percent me. If you want to sample it, if it's going to be in a movie, whatever, you gotta call me.

I think on the first album, my aim was to write a good song and have a good melody, and I wanted lyrics that would connect with as many people as possible. On the second album, I took a lot more of a personal approach.

I just focused more on being honest than getting the normal song structure down.
Almost all good writing begins with terrible first efforts. You need to start somewhere. Start by getting something-anything-down on paper. A friend of mine says that the first draft is the down draft-you just get it down. The second draft is the up draft-you fix it up. You try to say what you have to say more accurately. And the third draft is the dental draft, where you check every tooth, to see if it's loose or cramped or decayed, or even, God help us, healthy.

Writing isn't about making money, getting famous, getting dates, getting laid, or making friends.

Getting happy.
