People write music, and the music is out there for people to interpret it how they want to.

I'm not musically inclined. It blows my mind that people can write music. I don't have that talent; I look up to the people that do.

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

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

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

Writing a song is much like being an author. Yes, we all have tools to write (everyone has a brain I hope!), but that doesn't all of a sudden make us best selling authors.

I write music all the time. When I talk about having writer's block, it's more to do with lyrics than anything else.

Writing is not work. In fact, there's nothing better. Writing is something that if the music business went completely away tomorrow - radio stations quit existing and music quit being popular and it was old hat - I would still write songs.

If you don't write good music, people aren't going to listen to anything you say.

I only write music for myself, I don't try and appeal to anyone else.
