When I make a song, I'm really happy. It's an indescribable feeling.

When you sit down and there's nothing, and then you write a song and there's something, that's the most extraordinary feeling.

When I won the first Grammy, there was no other feeling like that feeling. It just made me feel like I came so far, like that was just a dream a few years before that, and then it was happening right then.

I feel the emotion that life conjures up and the songs I write get me closer to my feelings and realising who I am. It's a natural process.

Sometimes I feel like I finish a song, and there's another song that I have to write in response to that song. Each is like its own separate feeling, its own separate universe.

The strongest feelings I've had in my life are when love has gone right and when love has gone bad. And I think strong feelings make good songs.

When I'm writing, it's the weirdest thing: it's not even a conscious process. I'm not even thinking when I write, and then all of a sudden, I'll have a song that makes me feel so much better than I did before.

To finish a song is the best feeling in the world.

I like an element of chaos in music. That feeling is the best thing ever, as long as you don't have too much of it.

Every song is something that I've been through or an emotion I've felt - like falling in love or heartbreak.
