I've always tended to write songs prolifically.

Strangely, some songs you really don't want to write.

I guess, taking away all the theatrics or the costuming and the outer layers of what I do, I'm a writer... I write.

I'm wallowing in the whole idea of just being a guy out there with a band, with songs. It's a real enjoyment.

Frankly, I mean, sometimes the interpretations I've seen on some of the songs that I've written are a lot more interesting than the input that I put in.

I don't like to read things that people write about me. I'd rather read what kids have to say about me because it's not their profession to do that.
