I usually have an idea of how I want a song to sound, but I don't always know how to get there

The perfect man? A poet on a motorcycle.

I've had trouble being in relationships and writing. This has been a real problem for me. I don't know if it's because I'm not free to fantasize or create these fantasy things about other people

Above all, the listener should be able to understand the poem or the song, not be forced to unravel a complicated, self-indulgent puzzle. Offer your art up to the whole world, not just an elite few.

People let their own hang-ups become the obstacles between them and personal happiness.

I guess you could write a good song if your heart hadn't been broken, but I don't know of anyone whose heart hasn't been broken.

I don't mean to complain. I wouldn't trade my life for anything.
