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

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.

One other thing, if it's possible, as songwriters, you should also develop yourself as record producers.

Cynthia's lyrics always expressed the feelings people felt but they couldn't express themselves.

We became the songs we wrote.

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

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