I'm not really into the whole lyrics thing; I just like to make music that people like to listen to.

Sometimes I get ideas for lyrics in anyplace, but I work a lot in the studio. So I collect little bits of lyrics. I go through the box of lyrics I have and see if something fits.

When it comes to lyrics, I just write down a lot of things, and only a very tiny fraction of it, I think, is any good.

The lyrics are always the last thing I do. I always have a recording of basic tracks and maybe some of the lead work. I'll sit back and listen to it, and I'll just concentrate on what kind of feeling it gives me. My goal writing the lyrics is to not disrupt that feeling.

I'm always writing lyrics. I have so many lyrics on so many stray pieces of paper. Everywhere.

I know my lyrics might be weird to some, but they're not like that to me because I know where they come from - I know the secret.

I really wanted to work hard on my lyrics.

I find it harder to write the lyrics afterwards because then you're just trying to fit them into something that's already there.

Sometimes I'll have an idea for a story or have a subject, and that will inspire lyrics, but most of the time, hopefully, they already exist somewhere else.

I actually find a lot of pleasure in writing lyrics.
