I write in the studio.

I just go in the studio and write on the spot and see what comes out.

Whenever I have time, I try to get in the studio and write, whether it's for me or other artists or my catalog of music. It's definitely one of my favorite parts of the music industry.

Just writing and being in the studio was like therapy for me.

The writing gets done away from the keyboard and away from the studio in my head, in solitude. And then I come in and hopefully have something, then I wrestle with sounds and picture all day long. But the ideas usually come from a more obscure place, like a conversation with a director, a still somebody shows you, or whatever.

They're mostly done before we went into the studio, although I do like writing in the studio.

Being in the studio is like painting, you know, you can really take your time, and try different things, and kind of go deep into it.

With songwriting I spend a lot of time living life, accruing all these experiences, journaling, and then by the time I get to the studio I'm teeming with the drive to write.

I love being in the studio. Expressing myself that way is really cool.

I have a rough idea when I walk into a studio though.
