Poignant Quote:
“I get an enormous amount of satisfaction out of writing pop songs. They’re
really just puzzles, I think. They can be very complex, or sometimes they can
be very simple, but they either work or they don’t. And I believe that
performing one (a song) that works is a privilege or a reward for solving the
puzzle; not to be taken for granted.”
