We influence singing but never really songwriting.

Traditionally, songwriters can't sing. And that holds true in my case, also.

I've just always been around great songwriters. To me, they were the standard.

I see what other people do and what songwriters don't. They don't get out and take care of themselves. Producers turn themselves into a massive brand. Songwriters tend to be under someone else's umbrella. If you're building your own legacy, it can't be under an umbrella.

Songwriting's never been a natural art for me; it's always been a bit of a struggle.

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

Every record we do, we do one song we didn't write.

Probably most successful songwriters have an innate songwriting ability.

I don't enjoy songwriting.

All we do as songwriters is rewrite the songs that have impressed us till we find our own voice. It's part of learning the craft.
