- Always be honest with yourself about your feelings. I think that makes the best songs, because people want to hear things that are real.
- In writing sessions, a lot of people don’t share their ideas because they don’t think they’re good enough yet. Always put everything on the table, because even if you don’t think the idea is there yet, someone can help you get it there.
- I heard this in a movie – Country Strong – where one of the characters says something like, “Don’t be possessive about your publishing. A good song is a good song whether you write it or not.”
