I wanted to play piano, and that slid quickly into writing - it wasn't enough to play other people's notes: I had to write notes too.

It's hard to write music for specific things, because I'm always writing just to write.

When you sit down and write a song, you kind of have the idea for the song, and you sit there at the piano and you kinda just write it. And then of course later there's some dinking around with it and changing some stuff.

It's part of what I do at my piano - the hymns. And then I write.

The main thing about writing is... writing. Sitting your butt down in the chair and doing the work.

I always write with music. It takes me a while to figure out the right piece of music for what I'm working on. Once I figure it out, that's the only thing I'll play.

When I write, I write the drum beat. Though sometimes I write on piano or guitar.

I've written lots of songs on the piano. My mother had a piano and it was the first instrument I played.

The thing about good writing is it has a music to it.
