If I love a song, I make it mine.

Any song I do, I put my heart and soul into and, as an artist, you can only hope it makes other people feel the way you feel when making it.

I wouldn't be able to write a song like 'Someone Like You' and get someone else to sing it because it's so personal. It's like giving away your heart.

I'm a songwriter, that's what I love.

I'll try not to let a day go by without making a song. I don't think I've created a lot of music.

Sometimes when you're a songwriter, you kind of have this egotistic thing: you just want to write something that you love, and you don't care about if people like it or not, but personally, I want to write something that people can jive to.

I'm a songwriter and I'd love to make that a part of my career.

I'm still trying to make it. I'm still trying to get this over and do it and hopefully leave some kind of a mark on the course of American music, particularly in the tradition of what you might call the singer-songwriter.

I'm a producer first, and I know music, so I can jump on any song, whether it's pop or urban, without changing me. Whatever I do, I'm gonna make it classic.

If I love a song I hope to find a way to get other people to love it too.
