Every single lyric I've ever written I meant.

When I'm writing, I mean what I'm saying - there's a lot of me in each song.

I'm always writing lyrics. I have so many lyrics on so many stray pieces of paper. Everywhere.

Usually, writing lyrics for me is like bleeding drop by drop from the forehead.

Every writer writes in different ways, and so some write the music first, while others write the lyrics first, and some write while they are doing other things, and it is just nice to see how other writers are writing.

I get writer's block all the time. The only way I can write what I consider to be good lyrics is to put myself through the mill.

That's my favorite part about songwriting, the way you write a song, and someone else might hear it a different way.

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

I find it harder to write the lyrics afterwards because then you're just trying to fit them into something that's already there.
