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

I like writing songs - I keep saying that one day I'll do something with them, but I haven't yet.

I write music because I love it. Sometimes more than anything in the world.

I always write with music. It takes me a while to figure out the right piece of music for what I'm working on. Once I figure it out, that's the only thing I'll play.

I like to write music. And I think exploring with lyrics and figuring out how to make complete songs is fun. I think I have a take on it. I don't know if it's great, but it's an interesting take. It's original.

Writing music is just something that I was born to do.

I like writing and don't confine myself to just the words or just the music. But I don't particularly write songs with myself in mind.

At school, I was always daydreaming and fiddling in inkwells, but I had to learn to grow up and become articulate. And doing that was what brought me into writing songs. It's like therapy for me, because it exposes what I'm really thinking.

It's hard to write music for specific things, because I'm always writing just to write.

When I was first writing, I was writing mostly about sporting events, which was really what my assignments were. I was working on the Tour de France bike race and the Barcelona Olympic Games, and those songs tend to be very big, very bombastic-type music, which is the type of music that I love to write.
