It's a gift that I have and I became good at it. When I heard my first song I didn't even know that I could write songs.

Early in my songwriting career, when I was learning a lot about writing songs, I'd force myself to sit down until I came up with something.

It's never easy to write a song. It's the most difficult thing I do.

I just know that I love to write songs, and I have for a long time.

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

It usually takes me 20 to 90 minutes to write a song because once I start, I don't stop. If I start writing a song, and you try to have a conversation with me, you're a bad person.

So many good songs get written fast, because you know exactly what has to work.

I guess what people forget sometimes is that when I write songs, I write them sometimes in about 20 minutes.
