I love writing songs.

I don't write songs, songs write me.

That's what my life is, writing songs.

I love writing songs. I'm a songwriter.

I'm not done writing songs about you yet.

Originally I was not writing songs for myself

A lot of people don't listen to the lyrics, really.

A lot of people pretty much only listen to the chorus.

I'm enjoying writing songs that are more stripped back.

I'll be writing songs till I die. There's just no question.

Songwriting is about getting the demon out of me. It's like being possessed.

I started being a songwriter pretending I could do it, and it turned out I could.

I consider myself a poet first and a musician second. I live like a poet and I'll die like a poet.

For me, songwriting is something like breathing: I just do it. But that doesn't mean you're fantastic.

Songwriting is a very mysterious process. It feels like creating something from nothing. It's something I don't feel like I really control.

Music breeds its own inspiration. You can only do it by doing it. You may not feel like it, but you push yourself. It's a work process. Or just improvise. Something will come.
