You just write about things that happen.

I don't write all my stuff. Everybody always thinks that. But in just about every album I've ever had has been about 50-50 songs I've written or co-written and other people's songs.

It seems like the good things that have happened in my career are things that you don't try to plan and push, and make it happen, it just seems to happen.

I write plays about things that I can't resolve in my mind. I try to root things out.

Bad things happen when you try to let things just happen. You can't be passive.

I don't write material. Funny things happen to me in the course of a day, and I just make notes.
