If you're going to write a song, try to get together with a collaborator because it's better to write with collaborators.

I wake up in the morning and I say 'Ahh! Today's the day for a song! I'm going to write a song today!' And I do. I write a song.

I can write songs, I've had songs in movies, but I can't compose film scores, you know?

I sit and I write automatically. I don't really try to write. My subconscious mind takes over and writes the songs for me. Songs come very easily for me. When I'm inspired, it takes me 20 minutes to write a song.
