Zitat des Tages von Diane Warren:
I like to start with an idea, but then again, I might be sitting at the keyboard, and just playing a bunch of chords that sound cool together, and something just inspires an idea from that.
I've been in grocery stores, and if they're playing my music, I'll yell, 'Hey! I wrote that!' I've been next to cars and have done that!
When I turned 14, I became very obsessed with writing songs, and it took over my existence.
You have to hone your craft, but you also have to be born with a certain amount of talent, and I never took the talent for granted - I've always worked really hard to be as good as I could be.
Maybe my songs are my partner. How 'bout that? Yeah, the biggest relationship I have is with my songs.
I don't just do power ballads. I have a lot of up-tempo stuff, too - like 'Can't Fight the Moonlight.'
A lot of people give up, but you can't stop me. If you close the door, I'll just jump out the window.
I like writing all different kinds of songs. I've wanted to run the gamut of artists.
I usually don't write songs by people calling me and saying, 'Write a song about this.' Usually I'm just going with what I want to write, so you never know.
I just love the idea of going into a room and creating something by myself.
Oh yeah; I love when I'm writing something that makes me cry - that's so cool. If it got me to do that, it's going to get someone else to do that.
