My experience with songwriting is usually so confessional, it's so drawn from my own life and my own stories.

Songwriting is such an intricate part of me as an artist and as a person; I couldn't just let someone else do it.

Songwriting is a very mysterious process. It feels like creating something from nothing. It's something I don't feel like I really control.

My songwriting is like extending a hand to the listener.

Songwriting is my way of channeling my feelings and my thoughts. Not just mine, but the things I see, the people I care about. My head would explode if I didn't get some of that stuff out.

I love songwriting. It's second to my love for singing in how I express myself.

The whole point of music is being able to share your story. I've been songwriting for a long time, usually while on the road, as a way to get my feelings out.

Songwriting, I have to take myself away from everybody to do. It's an unsightly act.

I don't believe that songwriting has to be profound, but I truly believe that it's a crime for you to go outta your way for it not to be.

For me, songwriting is something I have to do ritually. I don't just wait for inspiration; I try to write a little bit every day.
