I'm not musically inclined. It blows my mind that people can write music. I don't have that talent; I look up to the people that do.

I've been writing music since I was a teenager. I play keyboards. I'm not much of a player, but I can write. That will come along. I'd like to do a musical.

When we first started playing in the early days, none of us really had any idea about writing our own songs yet. We were struggling how to learn our instruments and play songs to be able to perform for people.

People have said to me, You can't write songs. You can't play an instrument. But I've got 10 gold records.

I'm not a professional; I lack even basic knowledge about writing music.

I think my mom always wanted to play the guitar, and somehow she projected that to me. So I started learning to play guitar when I was five years old, but actually I'd never managed to get the academic side of it. So even up to today, I don't know how to read or write music.

There's more to being a musician than just making music.

I do play the guitar, but I do it for fun. And I am terrible at writing music as well. I have tried and failed, horribly.

You cannot teach a person how to write songs. It's about being your own person and following your instincts.

I am such a Luddite when it comes to making music. All I can do is write at the piano.
