I've never written a song that I thought was a hit.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I was never trying to write a hit. I was just trying to write good songs and get a message out, and it was my great good fortune to be popular.
There's never been a song that I just wrote and tried to send to an artist.
When you're like, 'Yo, we gotta write a hit song, we need a hit song right now,' that never works. Every time that happens, I never write a hit song.
I've never written a song in my life. It's all a big hoax.
I don't ever have the pressure of making a hit, because I've never had a hit song, per se. The closest thing to a hit song was 'Shiraz,' and it's not your prototypical hit song, with a catchy hook and all this other stuff.
Doing musicals and theatrical productions, I never did any of my hits.
I really didn't think about song writing.
I'm a professional songwriter - personal attitudes have nothing to do with writing a song.
I don't write songs.
I've written songs about things that nobody else has ever written about.
