It's very important, at least for me and for Cynthia, to get outside input.

I get a different kind of lyric from someone else that might make me go in a different musical direction.

If we didn't get the record, we didn't exist.

You have to be very brave in that first writing session.

A guitar riff played on a piano doesn't come close to the purity of it being played on a guitar but I faked it enough to get by.

It's very hard to teach someone how to write a song if to begin with there's no creative crop to harvest.
