I am always writing to myself.

Writing is my therapy. My feelings build up inside of me and then I sit down and write a song.

When I'm writing, I write all day. Other days, I sit around thinking. Or I run around from one meeting to another, out in the world. It varies, and I like that.

I write first for myself as a therapeutic process, to get stuff out and to deal with it.

I cannot always write at the same time, in the same place. I work, travel and have a vigorous family life. If I'm stranded in an airport lobby - I write. If I have to wait in a doctor's office - I write. If I have a morning or evening to myself - I write.

I write all the time. I always have. I can pick up my horn to warm up, and an idea will pop into my head, and I'll write it down and file it away for another time.

I usually write things in my head before I ever write them down. When I write it out, usually I've already figured out what it is I'm trying to do.

I mostly write on my own, walking, outside.

I write a lot because, if I don't, I start to panic, and I calm down when I write.

I'm writing, and just doing the same thing I always do.
