If we were the team that won out, then life was good and we felt that we were worth something.
From Barry Mann
If we didn't get the record, we didn't exist.
We became the songs we wrote.
I think that most writers who wait until they're inspired to write are just waiting for the fear to subside.
You have certain writing tools but generally creating something from nothing makes one quite mad and Cynthia and I are quite mad you know.
A guitar riff played on a piano doesn't come close to the purity of it being played on a guitar but I faked it enough to get by.
I get a different kind of lyric from someone else that might make me go in a different musical direction.
Cynthia's lyrics always expressed the feelings people felt but they couldn't express themselves.
I've written songs sober and I've written songs high.
The real danger of writing a great song when you're on something is that it might get you thinking that the only way to repeat that is by only writing when you're high.
