"Being in the archives and working with Woody's lyrics definitely was a watershed moment for me as a songwriter, as an artist.Just getting to see someone so comfortable being [himself] and creating without a lot of editing.... [E]verything he wrote wasn't beautiful; everything he wrote wasn't perfect. In fact, a great majority of what he wrote was slight or sort of off color or imperfect in some way, and that is what is sort of beautiful about it as a whole. The sublime moment seems to be only a product of allowing yourself to get through, to get to a lot of stuff in your life, write about a lot of stuff and not edit yourself. That is a great lesson to learn for anybody that writes or creates in anyway, to be able to make something without being good or bad."
