I learned that music should be fun and should be a way to express yourself - that there aren't really any rules.

Music is the only thing I've ever known that doesn't have any rules at all.

I didn't know that there were many rules in music when I first started writing.

There are no rules when I compose songs.

I don't care about the rules. In fact, if I don't break the rules at least 10 times in every song then I'm not doing my job properly.

There are some good rules and there are some lousy rules.

There are no rules to writing a song.

There aren't any rules, as far as anything-and that applies especially to writing songs, whatever gets the point across. So you're just kind of brought up to feel-in any field, if you say you can do it, do it. There it is.

I don't really know that there's any real rules for songwriting.
