I'm Hugely Self-critical In The Morning.

You Don't Meet A Lot Of People That You Really Like. I Don't Anyway.

The Songs That I Like Are The Ones That You Can't Visualize, That Are Just Cries From The Heart - Those Very Straight, Direct Songs That Make Rock & Roll Music So Wonderful.

I Write A Lot, And Very Often I Write A Couple Of Lines That Are Particularly Revealing In Some Kind Of Way. And Then As A Few More Lines Get Added And A Piece Gets Added, Eventually The Song Pretty Much Takes Over And You Can't Really Find A Way To Change Those Things.

What You're Really After When You See A Film Or Listen To A Song Is A Singular Vision, And I'm Not Sure How Much Of That You Really Get In Hollywood.

When I Start To Write A Song, I Initially Fall Into Patterns And Creative Habits That Are Familiar, And Because They're Familiar, They Sound Convincing. It's Important For Me To Not Pursue Those Ideas, Because I've Already Done Them, But To Find Ideas That Are Different And Feel Strange To Write And Disconcerting To Write.
