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

It's a rare combination to have someone who can write songs and sing well.

Probably most successful songwriters have an innate songwriting ability.

Some people can't sing - like honestly - but they're famous anyway, and they might be famous for being an artist, which is completely different from being a singer.

You know, there's still a lot of great songwriters out there who hand in songs. And there's a lot of brilliant singers and performers out there who sing other people's words. I enjoy doing both.

I really do think everybody can sing.

I feel like I am one of those artists that, thank god, can sing live.

I think there are some songwriters who are just brilliant who can write and then I think there are some songwriters who can like me I have a problem writing chorus lyrics but I can write a song in a story like that.

For a lot of pop performers, fame and celebrity is part of the job. But for singer-songwriters, no one really cares.

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.
