My songs are a direct route into my brain and my heart.

A song will keep going round in my brain and keep me awake.

Sometimes ideas are coming so fast that I have to stop doing one song to get another. But I don't forget the first one. If it works, it will always be there. It's like the truth: it will find you and lift you up. And if it ain't right, it will dissolve like sand on the beach.

Sometimes I feel like I finish a song, and there's another song that I have to write in response to that song. Each is like its own separate feeling, its own separate universe.

Sporadic thoughts will pop into my head and I'll have to go write something down, and the next thing you know I've written a whole song in an hour.

My songs are the door to every dream I've ever had and every success I've ever achieved.

It's very rare that a song falls from your mind complete.

I sang the songs in 'The Doors'.

My songs pretty much revolve in my brain most of the time - usually, whatever's coming next.
