I couldn't imagine having to write a paper and have to think about what song I am going to sing.
I am a person who feels compelled and then gets immersed.
I am mostly concerned about the script. If I get something that excites me, I will do it.
I guess what people forget sometimes is that when I write songs, I write them sometimes in about 20 minutes.
For me, how I feel about what I wrote down turns into a song.
It is not about writing those hits again. I am sure I could write them, but it is about the sensibilities.
I call it people-to-people politics and that's what politics should be about, reaching out and helping one another and touching one another about what we're going to do.
I was a police reporter, so I got into the worlds that I write about, and I think many of the details in my books come from those days.
When I write a song, it's all about the riff - the riff first, then the words come later.
