To me, a song is a song when you can sit in a room and just sing it from end to end.

You can say things a million times, but if you can't sing it, then it really isn't much of a song.

A song can take you to a special time in your life.

When you write a song, a song has longevity.

I don't always have to sing a song. There is something besides 'The Man That Got Away' or 'Over the Rainbow' or 'The Trolley Song.' There's a woman. There are three children. There's me! There's a lot of life going here.

Most people think a song is a song - three minutes, and you're done. I don't think this way. Songs are my wings. They're what I use to fly. It's very important for me to put everything in the right place.

Sometimes a song indicates that it wants to be about a certain thing. And then if you write it, you find that it is about something that you've done.

To sing is to bring to life; impossible if the words are mediocre, however good the music.

Sometimes you sing songs about the way you want to feel more than the way you actually do feel.

There's only so many things to sing about, so what's going to make a song appeal to you more than someone else's is just a unique way of saying the same thing.
