girl band bars
I would never talk to a girl in a bar, like a pick-up thing. But I could talk to anyone if they wore a t-shirt of a band I like.
needs break enjoy
If we enjoy what we're doing, we shouldn't really need a break.
running weight want
You can either go to the gym because you want to lose weight, or you can go to the gym because you like how it makes you feel when you're running.
records pace release
I definitely hope to continue to release records at an accelerated pace.
song writing people
I've tried to write songs for other people and it usually requires them singing it and then changing the phrasing. I can put a lot of words in a song, and one of the reasons is, I'm not that good of a singer, so I don't hold a lot of notes.
song writing thinking
I don't really pursue writing songs for other people. I guess one of the things I always think about is a good line in a song should be something I can hear myself saying.
ideas giving kind
Just looking into something kind of analytically can give a lot of ideas.
couple heart people
A conversation with you is a different thing than projecting to a couple hundred people. It's bigger and more animated and it's on a bigger scope, but still in the heart, it's honestly me.
song people needs
I really like narrative songs, but I wonder if that's a thing for some people. Once they've heard the story, do they really need to hear the story again?
new-york fall writing
I really want to write a novel. A few years ago I went so far as to do the cliché thing and rent this house in upstate [New York]. I still have the story, but I got 15,000, 20,000 words in and it was like, This is falling apart. I can't figure out.
thinking editors trying
I think having a coach or an editor or whatever the novelist's producer is could help. If you finish a chapter and you turn it in to him, and he or she said, "That was pretty good, it might go better." Maybe that's what I'll try to find.
girl every-girl
You can't get every girl; you get the ones you love the best.
