And I look forward to the time when I can become more indulgent with my songwriting. But this band is a family, and it's a process that we have to grow with together.
Stone Gossard

At first it was my brother's songwriting and I was just doing what everyone told me.
Gwen Stefani

But there's a thin line between songwriting and arranging.
Warren Zevon

But this is pretty new for me, both songwriting and singing.
Krist Novoselic

Each song has its own secret that's different from another song, and each has its own life. Sometimes it has to be teased out, whereas other times it might come fast. There are no laws about songwriting or producing. It depends on what you're doing, not just who you're doing.
Mark Knopfler

For me, songwriting is something I have to do ritually. I don't just wait for inspiration; I try to write a little bit every day.
Sean Lennon

For me, songwriting is something like breathing: I just do it. But that doesn't mean you're fantastic.
Adam Duritz

George Harrison is perhaps one of the most creative people I ever met, not only in his music and songwriting, but just the way he lived his life, decorated his gardens and homes. He was a dear friend of mine. His entire approach to music was very unique.
Gary Wright

I actually write film music because I'm classically trained on the piano so as well as songwriting I also write actual film music that could be used for movies like war movies and love movies.
Vanessa Brown

I felt I never needed to fight for a more prominent songwriting and increased vocal role with the Cars.
Benjamin Orr

I have a weird life because I live on songwriting royalties, which are a strange income. Sometimes it rains, sometimes it doesn't.
Joe Strummer

I have always written poetry but I have never applied it to songwriting.
Janine Turner

I knew that collaborating on songwriting would be difficult for a lot of people, because I was known very much, for my independence and the fact that I wrote these quirky songs that were not typical structure, not typical sound - you know, really original stuff.
Liz Phair

I love songwriting. It's second to my love for singing in how I express myself.
Michael Bolton

I love the art form of songwriting. I get to carry a lot of vibes to a lot of people. My songs are all about the human condition, and people will be able to find themselves in my songs.
Glenn Hughes

I mean Gorilla was really our first sort of goes at songwriting.
Neil Innes

I think MTV put a huge dent in the songwriting craft.
Christopher Cross

I think probably the only thing that is around in these songs is that I was really lonely when I wrote a lot of them. But it was really by my own choosing because I was devoting myself to songwriting and dancing and I wasn't really going out and seeing people.
Kate Bush

I think that songwriting changed when groups started spending more time in the studio.
Ray Davies

I wanted to play rock and roll when I started playing. Nobody at that time ever thought about songwriting. You sang songs, that's all. You sang other people's songs. That's all there were.
Bruce Cockburn
