I have a theory that you can decide to make whatever day it is a good day.

The cool thing about writing music, writing anything, is that once you publish it, it's there forever.

The Beatles are the most credible band in the history of music.

I think the best songs are being written by the very under-stated, under-appreciated indie artists. The thing that separates them from mainstream success is they either consciously or unknowingly refuse to deliver on a big chorus.

Nobody works harder than Lady Gaga. Nobody. She is unbelievable. I don't know how she sleeps, or when or if.

I find the songs that have the most human components in production are the ones that will stand the test of time.

The classic, quote/unquote, craft of songwriting still works; it still is relevant.
