No matter what you do, you'll never run away from you.

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

You've got to really be able to accept the rejection.

I know at the beginning of our careers, my wife and I were gut wrenchingly competitive.

There's so much fear involved in trying to do something you don't know how to do that drugs and alcohol can become a big part of your life if you have an addictive personality or are very unsure, which most songwriters are.

It's amazing how a competitive nature can turn a negative into something positive.

You have to be very brave in that first writing session.
