An idea comes as near to something for nothing as you can get.

I have far more respect for the person with a single idea who gets there than for the person with a thousand ideas who does nothing.

To get a great idea, come up with lots of them.

When you make music or write or create, it's really your job to have mind-blowing, irresponsible, condomless sex with whatever idea it is you're writing about at the time.

I don't force it. If you don't have an idea and you don't hear anything going over and over in your head, don't sit down and try to write a song. You know, go mow the lawn...My songs speak for themselves.

Do Something. If it works, do more of it. If it doesn't, do something else.
