I Don’t Think It’s Important

I Think The Music Business Will Eventually Crush Me, But I [smiles]... I'm Ready.

I Think The Suggestion That All My Songs Are Personal Is Insulting Because That Assumes That I Have A Bunch Of Issues That I Feel The Need To Unload On Strangers. That Is Not The Case. It Also Assumes That I Just Talk About Myself The Whole Time Which, Again, Is Not True.

I Don't Really Think Of Time Off As Writing Blocks. I Think That's A Western Notion Of Demonizing Inactivity. When Your Imagination Decides It Needs To Take A Nap. Maybe That's What It Needs To Do.

But I Was Also Doing Odd Jobs Around Portland, Like Spreading Gravel And Transplanting Bamboo Trees.

I'm Just Writing Songs About How I Feel Or About How People I Know Feel.
