Songwriting isn't always something that's directly proportionate to the experience.

I've never thought about songwriting as a weapon. I've only thought about it as a way to help me get through love and loss and sadness and loneliness and growing up.

Songwriting is my way of channeling my feelings and my thoughts. Not just mine, but the things I see, the people I care about. My head would explode if I didn't get some of that stuff out.

Songwriting is kind of like a craft. It's not something that just comes in a dream. You've got to work at it.

Songwriting is a very mysterious process. It feels like creating something from nothing. It's something I don't feel like I really control.

Songwriting is therapeutic for me.

Songwriting is an art unto itself, not to be confused with performing.

My songwriting is like extending a hand to the listener.

Songwriting is too mysterious and uncontrolled a process for me to direct it towards any one thing.

You know, I would say that songwriting is something about the expression of the heart, the intellect and the soul.
