Songs seem to take me a long time. I don't know why; they're not especially excellent for taking so long.

Most of the time, songs that I write end up being finished in 30 minutes or less.

Sometimes when I get home after a long day, I'll turn on music - I love Latin, disco, and pop - and do my own workout, even if it's a short one. Know a good song to work out to? 'I Will Survive.'

Some songs go super-quick; some take a really long time.

I can't just sit down and make a song in a day. It's only possible if you focus on the music and not the sound.

It doesn't take long to make catchy songs. That's not my problem.

A great song should make you stop everything that you're doing. You should be so into it that you just can't imagine doing anything else for that moment. You wouldn't even dream of picking up the phone.

I'm always doing something musically - when I'm working or when I'm off.

I actually had a week where I literally wrote four songs and all of them are on my album. But sometimes you'll go a week where you'll write songs and they never see the light of day. So that process takes a long time.

Sometimes you're gonna write a song and it's not gonna be right from the beginning. And you're just gonna have to work through that wall. But if you know something is there, you've gotta just keep doing it until you get it right. So, I'll work on a song for three months if I have to, to get it right.
