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

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

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

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

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

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

I think that most writers who wait until they're inspired to write are just waiting for the fear to subside.
