The first album, I wanted it to be a soundtrack to a
John Hughes movie, but I wanted it to be a soundtrack to my life. Expressing my life in this John Hughes movie way has been my whole career, really. I suppose I'm still doing that even though the music changes - it's really uplifting and sad at the same time, which is what these movies are all about. I think I'll always reference John Hughes in my music. If you wanted to use a song as a sample, I'd say "It's Not Living, If It's Not With You," whereas the last album had 10 songs that were John Hughes-inspired.
