I'm a total ho for any writing workshop, any technique from anyone.

I saw an interview with Jay-Z where he said he didn't write down any of his lyrics, so I tried that.

I like to go play shows just to see people, so I'm not in the game of like, "You're at my show, you're gonna listen to it like this, blah blah blah."

When you wrote a song way back in the day, you were writing material to play live. And you would buy the CD at the shows if you like the show. You may not listen to the CD, you might just throw it in the back of your car and let it warp in the sun. The main thing was you saw the song at the show.

I like being a musician that's also a fly on the wall. I like people coming in the room and doing what they do and then leaving. I like attention, but it actually gives me a little less to work with as a performer if people are editing themselves and not being them.

Advice is not really very useful. People gave me terrible advice, and I guess I was just smart enough to ignore some of it.
