That sense of failure, I don't know where people put it who don't write songs and aren't able to emote physically. It must go somewhere.
A writer is somebody for whom writing is more difficult than it is for other people.
Usually when I write a song, I'll write the music and then kind of fit some words to it.
I think the purpose of the writer is to help us see. The writer is someone who can perhaps have the joy of helping others see.
I've been writing joke songs since I was a kid and it served me well at S.N.L. I can write those in my sleep. In fact, I have.
But I decline to say who has ever listened to them, who has written them, or other people who have sung them.
Ideas come from somewhere. People don't come up with these ideas from nowhere. Something triggers your thoughts.
I would love to write something that people would still read 50 or 100 years from now. That comes with growing older, I think.
Some people will lie to you because they mean to. Others will do it to tell you what you want to hear.
