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

Probably most successful songwriters have an innate songwriting ability.

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.

I've written songs sober and I've written songs high.

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

I also used to work in the Catskill Mountains as a bus boy, and I performed in talent shows.

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