One of the things that I try to be conscious about in crafting a song is the concept of bringing it home. I like to bring it somewhere familiar, someplace that people feel it's resolved, it's settled.

Only love is real...everything else is illusion

That's one of the things I love about being a songwriter first, last and always, because whether I do it or not, if someone does a great job on it, my work is done.

Today's records, even though they may be lyrically repetitive and not saying anything particularly heavy, they have energy.

The writing of You've Got a Friend was one of the most incredible experiences because it was mostly inspiration. It just came to me almost as we hear it.

The downside of videos is that it will put my vision in front of other people, so they might not get the chance to create their own.

I didn't want to be an artist.
