You don't really know a song until you play it live.

I can't legislate a song into being; it just will not happen for me.

You've got to really know your song, inside and out.

If you can even manage to tell exactly what a song is about, all you do is put that song in a box forever, and it loses its evocative power.

When I write, I don't have any expectation of what kind of song it will become or who it might reach.

I'd rather not get into what I'm talking about lyrically. I think it's impossible not to demystify a song when saying what it's about. Music and art can be damaged severely by too much information; I say that as somebody that has participated in that.

The whole beauty of music is that it goes where your words won't let you.

You never know what an artist is going to create next.

As a musician I'm about expressing what's inside, and I think everyone has a song in them that they need to get out, whatever their gig is.
