I don't think I'm a great songwriter, but I think I've learned a lot about it, and I don't think there's any one way to do it. I don't think I can control it at all. I can just kind of hope that it happens. ↗

I was a different person before I started to write. When I realized I could be a songwriter and that people would listen - that was when I started feeling good in my life. ↗

This is the way I want to die. Torn apart by angry fans who want me to play a different song. ↗

I may not be the most famous songwriter in the world, but you know a David Friedman song when you hear it. It took me a long time to appreciate that. ↗
