It's so wide; that's what I love most about my career. It's been varied, and the music has been varied, because I find myself getting bored pretty easily.

I like creating something from nothing and hearing it on the radio or on stage or from somebody driving down the street singing it. It's like building a house, taking a vacant piece of land, and next thing you know, there's a house with somebody living in it.
