"I'm very lucky that so many of the songs I wrote were written at the time they were. A good song is still a good song, it's just so much harder now to make it exist and last. Do you go into a piano bar and hear a song by 'N Sync or the Backstreet Boys? Is there anyone covering songs from Spring Awakening [the alt-rock musical]?"
