I get a different kind of lyric from someone else that might make me go in a different musical direction.

If I waited for inspiration every time I sat down to write a song I probably would be a plumber today.

We became the songs we wrote.

A guitar riff played on a piano doesn't come close to the purity of it being played on a guitar but I faked it enough to get by.

It's very hard to teach someone how to write a song if to begin with there's no creative crop to harvest.

I quit college. I was studying architecture for about a year.

You have certain writing tools but generally creating something from nothing makes one quite mad and Cynthia and I are quite mad you know.
