I think songwriters are more related to fiction writers. The Odyssey was a story in song. To me, that's so beautiful, all those painted characters, all those travels and adventures. ↗

I can only say thank you and thanks also to all of the great songwriters who wrote those wonderful songs that became number ones. ↗

I'm really happy that I got to work with such fresh talent. In a day when record companies are not particularly good at encouraging young, talented songwriters to come forward and get exposure, I think it's important to give tomorrow's songwriters the opportunity. ↗

A lot of the great songwriters in history have been collaborators, with a separate lyricist. ↗

I've had offers to sign a record deal, but the people I've talked to have wanted to package me and have me meet with songwriters who've written stuff for Whitney Houston, that sort of thing. That's not at all my style. ↗

In many ways, Viv and I were the only ones who were really songwriters. ↗

I know great songwriters. Fred Neil would come up when he was in L.A., we all used to hang out. He would sit there and sing, and we would just melt. I mean, we would go to his recording sessions. ↗

You know, there's still a lot of great songwriters out there who hand in songs. And there's a lot of brilliant singers and performers out there who sing other people's words. I enjoy doing both. ↗

The focus is on singer/songwriters now rather than huge shows. I mean, of course there's always a place for that too. ↗

I feel there must be an enormous amount of really talented songwriters out there who can't sing. ↗
