For some producers who are technical-minded, making the song sound good is easy, and getting the emotion into the song is harder.

I have sometimes been told that my music is 'difficult' for the listener.

There is two kinds of music, the good, and the bad. I play the good kind.

I work hard at that, but the fact that there are a lot of good songs means there are also a lot of really bad songs I've written that you never hear.

One of my side strange abilities is to hear a good song, no matter how it's being performed. Even if you get a bad performance, I can still hear that there's a good song.

It's easy in music to tell what's good. It's hard to tell what's bad.

It's become uncool to play other people's songs, and that's absurd. It has got to change. It's the reason why everything's so mediocre.

I write a lot of songs people don't hear. I really just enjoy the process. I finish 'em all. I don't think there's a whole lot of difference between the bad ones and the good ones.

I don't think there is anything hard at all about having a lot of songs. It makes it easier to be less precious about them, and know that everybody's going to want to work on some of them.

Unless you're singing something that's kind of in rhythm with the bass, the melodies, it's just difficult.
