I found songwriting really hard at first, but after a while it was actually very easy.

I've never considered myself a lyricist, but I have stuff to say.

Songwriting's never been a natural art for me; it's always been a bit of a struggle.

I'm not tryin' to come off as the best lyricist.

Songwriting is hard - it's so easy to fall into the same traps. It's not like I wake up and songs flow out of me.

I don't want to work on a musical if I'm not the lyricist.

As a songwriter, it's very hard to listen to music that's not coming from the heart and soul, personally.

The songs were really complicated. I used to meet people in bar bands who were trying to play our songs and they were really struggling with it. Technically it was really difficult stuff.

I found it was really impossible for me to write songs when I couldn't sing.

There's a saying, 'It's easy to write songs, but very difficult to write great songs.' I'm going through that right now.
