I didn't mean to be a songwriter; I just was writing for fun, you have all day to do it. I was homeless so that's all I had to do.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I never thought of myself as a songwriter. I was just an artist writing songs, and they just happened to get placed.
I honestly don't class myself as a songwriter. I've got 'musician' written on my passport. That's even funnier.
As a songwriter, if you can touch people and make them feel a little less alone in the world, then you've done your job.
I always wanted to be an artist; being a songwriter for myself was always a must but being a songwriter for others has been a bonus.
I probably wouldn't be a songwriter if I didn't grow up the way I did. It was difficult and it was at times very scary to grow up in a household so unsettled and at times very violent. But, it also, I guess it earned me a sort of wisdom at a young age that's served me well.
I'm a songwriter, that's what I love.
You can't write about stuff you don't know about. You have to live it. You have to roll up your sleeves and get your hands dirty. Live life to be a good songwriter.
Being a songwriter does not rely on an audience or other band members or a camera. I can just sit in a room and write songs.
Writing for somebody else is really fun 'cause I consider myself a songwriter first and foremost.
Being a songwriter is really the base of being an artist, for me.
