Composing music is hard work.

Well mostly in song writing my experience is that there isn't so much inspiration as hard work. You sit there for hours, days and weeks with a guitar and piano until something good comes.

When you get the right people together, writing music becomes very effortless.

I've always wanted to make music like people write plays, so I was inspired by writers as much as musicians.

It's hard to write music for specific things, because I'm always writing just to write.

It is easy to write unthinking music.

Writing music is just something that I was born to do.

All I try to do is to write music that feels meaningful to me, that has commitment and passion behind it.

I was always writing music anyway. I just sort of fell into it. Writing for me is a therapeutic process.

I can only speak for myself - there were times when I just wasn't inspired by creating music.
