I became a specialist at comedic one-liners.

I'm a songwriter first.

When I got my first email from a record label, I decided I didn't want to go in with just one song, so I sat down and kept on writing.

I just wrote one song at a time. Kinda like an alcoholic. One day at a time.

First and foremost, I consider myself a songwriter.

I plan someday to do a one-man show based solely on the e-mails of Bellamy Young. And people will think I've written a brilliant comedy myself when, in fact, all the text will be directly from Bellamy.

Writing for somebody else is really fun 'cause I consider myself a songwriter first and foremost.

I'm a writer, first and foremost, and I sort of take my cues from the songwriters of the '70s, who are talking about what's really important to them.

At first it was my brother's songwriting and I was just doing what everyone told me.
