I can't legislate a song into being; it just will not happen for me.

The goal is always just to write the best song that you can write. I mean, the process for writing a song is the process for writing a song. It's not something I look at it as something I need to do something different.

It's no fun for me to cover a song and produce it the exact same way as it already exists. When I hear that happening, I have to say, 'What's the point?'

Every time you write a song, you're looking for some sort of perfection, and you never quite reach it. You're always looking for that extra missing piece.

I really just tried to make a record full of great songs, which is the goal I always have.

Creativity and artistic endeavors have a mission that goes far beyond just making music for the sake of music.

There is no 'perfect' in music. If I ever came off the stage and felt it could not be better, it would then be time to quit.

You can't be perfect. You can't be the perfect father. You can't be the perfect singer.

There's a wide spectrum of possibilities in how to deliver a song.
