She could only write with him at night and she was wasting her days just sitting around. So he thought I could write with her during the day. And that was Carole King.

You made a lot of mistakes, and you wrote a lot of crap. But it was all part of the learning process.

That's what it is every time you walk into the room to write with someone new. It's like, oh god I have to take my clothes off 'my creative clothes' and let them see all of my flaws.

But I'm someone who the more afraid I am, the more I want to do it to get the fear over with.

Although I like the work I've done in the past, I like what I'm writing now even more.

On the other hand when you are someone who records their own songs you are basically stuck writing for one voice and for one style that can stifle you a bit. It's a real trade off.

I can't seem to write young enough anymore.
