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

Strangely, some songs you really don't want to write.

I'm a professional songwriter - personal attitudes have nothing to do with writing a song.

Writing songs is like capturing birds without killing them. Sometimes you end up with nothing but a mouthful of feathers.

I don't write songs.

I don't really write songs anymore.

I wasn't interested in writing music that wasn't beautiful for me to listen to.

Writing a song is actually quite easy. Writing a good one is very, very difficult.

I don't sit down to write a song, per se.

I was always writing music anyway. I just sort of fell into it. Writing for me is a therapeutic process.
