You know, I would say that songwriting is something about the expression of the heart, the intellect and the soul.

Songwriting isn't always something that's directly proportionate to the experience.

Songwriting is too mysterious and uncontrolled a process for me to direct it towards any one thing.

Songwriting is something that's very daunting until you have your first successful song, I think.

Songwriting is kind of like a craft. It's not something that just comes in a dream. You've got to work at it.

Songwriting is like editing. You write down all this stuff - all this bad, stupid stuff - and then you have to get rid of everything except the very best.

The key to songwriting is just to be able to observe, and put yourself in situations to be around people, and let those ideas come to you.

I've been really trying to hone the art of songwriting in a way that doesn't follow any sort of guideline.

If anyone asks me about songwriting, I guess I'd say that you just gotta 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.
