It seems to me that those songs that have been any good, I have nothing much to do with the writing of them. The words have just crawled down my sleeve and come out on the page.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I think probably the only thing that is around in these songs is that I was really lonely when I wrote a lot of them. But it was really by my own choosing because I was devoting myself to songwriting and dancing and I wasn't really going out and seeing people.
I didn't write those songs, but I can relate to every one of them... I have.
Sometimes when I write songs, I don't know what they're about, and it just suddenly comes to me.
My songs are just little letters to me.
I find so many songwriters today are missing an element... either the production is amazing but the songs aren't, or it's the other way around.
The fact that my songs take a long time to write is no guarantee of their excellence.
I sometimes don't know what songs are about for several years after I've written them.
I want all of my songs to do well whether I've written them or not.
I don't think you ever get tired of the well-written, well-crafted songs.
The songs keep on writing themselves, and I really love them. It's as close as I get to a religion.
