My music fights against the system that teaches to live and die.

The thing is, I'm not a prolific songwriter.

With my gift, I can pretty much write a song out of anything.

I'm not an extremely prolific writer. I don't write songs all the time.

People have said to me, You can't write songs. You can't play an instrument. But I've got 10 gold records.

I can't write music unless I'm deeply connected to it and that connection almost always comes from some experience that I have had or am having.

I have a whole lot of songs.

It's a gift that I have and I became good at it. When I heard my first song I didn't even know that I could write songs.

I have hundreds of songs.

When I'm writing, I mean what I'm saying - there's a lot of me in each song.
