One of the biggest challenges for me is that I'm still a human being. I'm a very imperfect human being. I'm very open about the fact that I'm not trying to pretend to be better than anyone else.
My songs are always on the tip of my tongue. It's always bubbling and brewing and about to come out. I can't really put it into words, but the best way to explain it is feeling like you constantly have some things on the tip of your tongue.
As far as songwriting, I'm not sure if they wrote all of their own stuff, but I love the Dixie Chicks.
To the outside world, I was pretty bad at everything my whole life. People didn't credit me for my musicianship.
If I talk to a new guy, it's because the old guy bores me, and I already wrote a bunch of songs about him.
I just am really bad at making new friends - especially in the music industry, because they're not really real friends; they're just music industry friends.
My dad raised me on everything from his music to Stevie Wonder to A Tribe Called Quest. I learned the 'Midnight Marauders' album in and out.
