Your limitations make you the wonderful disaster you most probably are.

Everyone wants to feel that they matter.

You write a scene, and it works or it doesn't. It's immediate.

I just want to leave this world with a massive catalog of songs.

I get criticized for a lot of what I write about, but as far as I'm concerned I'm actually standing up and having a look at what goes on in the minds of men, and I have the authority to talk about it because I'm a man.

The editing of a song is largely what makes the song for me and I think that actually if I had started going like 'I want you to burn' it would have pinned that song down to a particular thing and made that song a smaller idea than what it is. By leaving that off it's much more open, broader.
