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.

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

Who put the bomp in the bomp-bomp-bomp-bomp-bomp, who put the ram in the rama-lama-ding-dong?

We became the songs we wrote.

I think if one wants to be in a continual state of insanity one should stay married to that writing partner.

You can get stale writing with each other for a while.

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