They say a person needs just three things to be truly happy in this world: someone to love, something to do, and something to hope for.
That's the great thing about songwriting: You have that time to have perspective and look back and think about all the things you'd want to say.
Inspiration is some mysterious blessing which happens when the wheels are turning smoothly.
I have friends that tease me about 'Without a Trace;' they say, 'You're really good at saying, 'Have you seen this person?'
The very best thing you can do is to try to write a song that has some sort of impact.
Be influenced by nothing but your clients' interests. Tell them the truth.
Tell the truth through whichever veil comes to hand - but tell it. Resign yourself to the lifelong sadness that comes from never being satisfied.
You get trapped by stories. Though I've got this reputation for being out of control, it's not true, it just happens to be a more interesting story than the truth.
I can only say thank you and thanks also to all of the great songwriters who wrote those wonderful songs that became number ones.
