I write to find out what I didn't know I knew.

All there is to writing is having ideas. To learn to write is to learn to have ideas.

You know, as a writer, I'm more of a listener than a writer, cuz if I hear something I will write it down.

I think people who create and write, it actually does flow-just flows from into their head, into their hand, and they write it down. It's simple.

I think if you write from your own gut, you'll come up with something interesting, whereas if you sit around guessing what people want, you end up with the kind of same schlock that everybody else has got.

John could write a mean song. He had a lot of venom in him. Whereas I had a happy childhood.
