When I first started writing songs, I looked around at the bands that were making it, and they all had the original material. Jimi Hendrix, the Beatles, the Stones - everybody was writing their own songs. That's the way that you established your own identity.

I honestly have really deep reservations about releasing everything you ever did. Every time somebody farted in the studio, now it's out there.

Once I'd become a songwriter, it just stays with you. You always want to write more songs because it's such a great feeling.
