Smokey Robinson writes the heartfelt songs, whereas it was my job to write the songs about weakness and failure in love.
Songs are more powerful than books.
Sometimes I almost feel just like a human being.
I used to be disgusted; now I try to be amused.
I knew I was in trouble, but I thought I was in hell.
I've always felt writing a song was a bit like going on location. That's true in an almost literal sense. Where you are seeps in somehow.
