To say 'I love you' one must first be able to say the 'I.'

Music is the best way for me to say I love you.

I've always tried to get around writing love songs, I guess because I've always had a hard time saying, 'I love you.'

I think I have a hard time expressing myself in my relationships. I use songs to tell people how I'm feeling. If I can't say 'I love you,' I'll write a song about it and hope that the person figures it out.

You can't sing about love unless you know about it.

As a songwriter or artist, there's only so many ways you can say, 'I love you' or 'I think you're beautiful.'

If someone wants to say 'I love you' in a straight play, they say it, and then it's the other person's turn to talk. But in a song, you can sing about it for another three minutes. The musical form has that unique opportunity to express at length what joy really feels like.

I sing a lot about love.

I think it's not really difficult to write about love. We've been saying the same thing over and over for so many years. But it depends on how honest it is and how good you make it feel. You can say 'I love you' in a trillion ways, and it can always sound different or feel different.

I think that the best songs to sing are songs that you love, because you sing them with love when you love them.
