My songwriting process is painful. Songwriting is brilliant. It's a load of fun - when it works. It's really difficult as well.

Songwriting is a very mysterious process. It feels like creating something from nothing. It's something I don't feel like I really control.

I don't write songs.

Songwriting is like editing. You write down all this stuff - all this bad, stupid stuff - and then you have to get rid of everything except the very best.

Songwriting is my way of channeling my feelings and my thoughts. Not just mine, but the things I see, the people I care about. My head would explode if I didn't get some of that stuff out.

Songwriting is therapeutic for me.

Songwriting, I have to take myself away from everybody to do. It's an unsightly act.
