I'm not an extremely prolific writer. I don't write songs all the time.

I'm not very good at writing songs when I have a lot of clutter in my mind.

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

So one can say that I write all the time, that goes for the lyrics as well.

Even when I don't think I'm writing, I'm writing. There's some part of my brain geared toward making songs up, and I know it's collecting things and I know when I get a moment to be by myself, that's when they come out.

Writing songs is really about writing. It's not about necessarily focusing on one particular style or making it one particular thing.

When you're writing a song, you have to know two things. You have to know who you are, and you have to think about other people.

I usually don't write songs by people calling me and saying, 'Write a song about this.' Usually I'm just going with what I want to write, so you never know.

Sometimes when I write songs, I don't know what they're about, and it just suddenly comes to me.
