I'm really good at writing 'almost hits'.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I was never trying to write a hit. I was just trying to write good songs and get a message out, and it was my great good fortune to be popular.
It is not about writing those hits again. I am sure I could write them, but it is about the sensibilities.
When I stopped hiding who I am, I started writing hits.
You don't just go to the studio and say, 'I'm going to write a hit.' It becomes a hit when people like your compositions.
I don't sit down to write a number one hit. I'm not that good at my job - I don't know how to do that.
My hits are not hits.
I'm not an extremely prolific writer. I don't write songs all the time.
You have to write badly to write at all. If it's crappy, I will rewrite it later. But it will be mine. You can hear the resonance of an artist who goes into herself.
When you're like, 'Yo, we gotta write a hit song, we need a hit song right now,' that never works. Every time that happens, I never write a hit song.
It's hard to write music for specific things, because I'm always writing just to write.
