The songs are my lexicon. I believe the songs.

These seem to me so ambiguous, so vague, so easily misunderstood in comparison to genuine music, which fills the soul with a thousand things better than words.

I want all of my songs to do well whether I've written them or not.

If I write the song, I get to name it.

I didn't choose a word or anything. I just wrote the song until it stopped.

It's hard to decide how to match words to music. It's not like it's twice the work. It's always difficult for me to explain to the composer what I'm looking for. I'm not a professional; I lack even basic knowledge about writing music.

I'll have to get people to write songs for me right now until my own writing comes around.

I want to write music that's going to appeal to everyone.
