I love songs that are very autobiographical.
Alanis Morissette

I guess what people forget sometimes is that when I write songs, I write them sometimes in about 20 minutes.
Alanis Morissette

The thing I always default to is that I'll always be here to write songs.
Alanis Morissette

When I start writing songs and it turns into an overly belabored intellectual process, I just throw it out.
Alanis Morissette

I'll keep evolving and put that into my songs.

I loved Rent when I first heard it, but it grew on me and so did Tick, Tick... Boom. Some songs are more interesting than others and sometimes the ones that never stood out at first end up being the best to perform.
Neil Patrick Harris

I'm not going to hurt anybody other than that dick who keeps writing songs about me.
Courtney Love

I don't think about the styles. I write whatever comes out and I use whatever kind of instrumentation works for those songs.
Lenny Kravitz

We had offers to go everywhere and we could have done them. But what would have been the point? We were tired. We had worked hard and needed a break before we got stale. We spent six months at home and writing songs.
John Bonham

To me, the musical is best when it's a musical comedy. So if you have a very, very funny show, and very good, funny songs, that's what the musical does best.
Eric Idle

Senorita was fun to sing, but I don't really have a favorite. When you write a bunch of songs, they're like your babies. You don't pick favorites.
Justin Timberlake

My biggest challenge was to make sure that the songs I did were who I am.
Justin Timberlake

Sometimes if you get 'em too drunk they don't pay no attention to what you're doin' anyways, so you might as well just do old songs. But if you get one that's paying attention, sometimes we'll do some new material.
Merle Haggard

I think I'm most proud of my family right now. I'm more into that then I've ever been. It also gives a new area to draw from in creativity with my songs.
Merle Haggard

It wasn't just about flashing lights and pinball machines blowing up and things like that. It was about using encores, bringing back the good songs and using techniques that I knew about from rock performance.
Pete Townshend

I think I probably would have enjoyed to keep my own private pain out of my work. But I was changed by my audience who said your private pain which you have unwittingly shown us in your early songs is also ours.
Pete Townshend

People assume that the meaning of a song is vested in the lyrics. To me, that has never been the case. There are very few songs that I can think of where I remember the words.
Brian Eno

Puffy produced four of the tracks on the album. Those are the four songs that are collaborations between Puffy and me. And he gives me my space to work even when we work together, like with my producer and my vocal coach.
Jennifer Lopez

A lot of times, I played bass on songs. Gene plays guitar on some songs.
Ace Frehley

I think the fans really wanna hear the songs the way they sound on the record.
