I always used to look at books and wonder how anybody could come up with so many words. But my divorce and then falling in love with somebody else has released in me an ability to write in other ways apart from songs.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I've always tried to get around writing love songs, I guess because I've always had a hard time saying, 'I love you.'
I love the way you can fall in love with a piece of literature; how words alone can get your heart doing that.
Writing is more about imagination than anything else. I fell in love with words. I fell in love with storytelling.
Writing is something that I've always loved. That stems from my love of being a reader.
I don't write down my experiences, but I have a very decent memory. I have tons of books in which I write down phrases as they occur to me. That's how I write songs. I'll need a line and I'll go through the books and find it, the right rhyme and everything.
I can't write songs unless I am in love.
I loved words. I love to sing them and speak them and even now, I must admit, I have fallen into the joy of writing them.
My songs tend to be about love. It drives some of the greatest songs. I'm looking forward to seeing what people make of my writing.
I don't know why, but I don't fancy writing love songs; I never have.
Love stories are probably all I've ever been able to write or want to write.
