If anyone asks me about songwriting, I guess I'd say that you just gotta do it.

All we do as songwriters is rewrite the songs that have impressed us till we find our own voice. It's part of learning the craft.

Songwriting is kind of like a craft. It's not something that just comes in a dream. You've got to work at it.

One other thing, if it's possible, as songwriters, you should also develop yourself as record producers.

I think songwriting is the ultimate form of being able to make anything that happens in your life productive.

I'm a songwriter, and I understand artistic licence. We can embellish, go on little journeys and explore our inner selves. It can be quite self-indulgent.

Songwriting is something that's very daunting until you have your first successful song, I think.

The key to songwriting is just to be able to observe, and put yourself in situations to be around people, and let those ideas come to you.

Being a songwriter is really the base of being an artist, for me.

As a songwriter, I feel like, just for inspiration and research purposes, I have to listen to everything.
