One of my biggest thrills for me still is sitting down with a guitar or a piano and just out of nowhere trying to make a song happen.

Love is all you need.

I had this song called Helter Skelter, which is just a ridiculous song. So we did it like that, 'cuz I like noise.

I think I always had a musicality, and I think I could tell a good song from a bad song. And I would appreciate hearing something that was new to me.

When I sit down to write a song, it's a kind of improvisation, but I formalize it a bit to get it into the studio, and when I step up to a microphone, I have a vague idea of what I'm about to do.

I saw that Meryl Streep said, I just want to do my job well. And really, that's all I'm ever trying to do.
