I get writer's block all the time. The only way I can write what I consider to be good lyrics is to put myself through the mill.

It's hard to write music for specific things, because I'm always writing just to write.

I write the music because I can't really write lyrics. But I can write chords like Robin's never heard of. So I provide the music for them to add the lyrics to.

I think that most people who write about music just want to fill some paper. They're not really interested in getting to the heart of something. Otherwise, they wouldn't write what they write.

I write music to both the situations and the lyrics in plays.

I'm always writing lyrics. I have so many lyrics on so many stray pieces of paper. Everywhere.

Writing songs is really about writing. It's not about necessarily focusing on one particular style or making it one particular thing.

I was always writing music anyway. I just sort of fell into it. Writing for me is a therapeutic process.

I usually don't write songs by people calling me and saying, 'Write a song about this.' Usually I'm just going with what I want to write, so you never know.
