When you're playing such brilliant music every day, then the last thing you ever want to do is try to write something of your own that's crude and not as good.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
It's hard to write music for specific things, because I'm always writing just to write.
I was always writing music anyway. I just sort of fell into it. Writing for me is a therapeutic process.
I'm not an extremely prolific writer. I don't write songs all the time.
Writing music is just something that I was born to do.
My message to anyone who's afraid that they can't write music when they're happy is 'Just trust the passion.' The passion can write a lot of things.
I really started writing music to challenge myself, to see what I could write.
Writing music is not so much inspiration as hard work.
I have to laugh to myself. I don't find it work to write music, because I enjoy it. I'd find an evening of bridge hard work because you have to think like hell, and at the end, you get nothing for it.
You have to write badly to write at all. If it's crappy, I will rewrite it later. But it will be mine. You can hear the resonance of an artist who goes into herself.
One thing I've tried to do in writing music is take on very basic things, very archetypal things.
