My job is to be some sort of music/lyric psychic, to figure out that that's the right song to not fight the lyric.

The nice thing about age is worrying less and less about what people think.

Now that I have found someone, I'm feeling more alone... than I ever have before.

I want people to listen to my lyrics and be okay with themselves. The people who have it the roughest are homosexuals who come out of the closet.

The way I see it, there's only one melody for any song.

I do think that when you make repeated mistakes, it's usually because you're just not coming to grips with something.

I think a lot of good directors listen to music while they're working. The songs just don't become a part of the film. They're replaced.
