I'm so hard on myself that when I'm in the studio, I'll write 10 songs and only use one. So those nine songs that are left over, I always think, 'Where could these go? Who could they be for?'
The songs are about things that we were thinking and we wrote 'em down, and when you listen to 'em, whatever you think it's about... THAT'S what it's about!
I write plays about things that I can't resolve in my mind. I try to root things out.
It's not my style to be thinking about what a record is while I'm making it: I just write songs.
Mostly I work really unconsciously, and I think if the scenes are really well written, which they are, and if I just throw myself into it, I don't really think about it.
The neatest thing about television is that they write for you... They find out what you can do, what you do best, how it works, and how they can use you.
Usually when I write a song, I'll write the music and then kind of fit some words to it.
Whenever I write, I try and approach my stories from some kind of universal theme or idea or emotion.
People think that because I write about India I must be trying to portray India in a way.
