I've been used for writing rhythm guitar chords for a long time because it's so easy to play and chords just sound good on it.
I always write the first and last song of an album first, and then the middle just kind of happens.
Sometimes, I do have something to say, so I'll sit there and I'll write a song to someone - and then I just throw it away because it makes me cringe.
I don't have the capacity to write stuff consciously. When I do, it's really awful.
I was trying to write a song based on a story in a random book of Puerto Rican short stories that I found in a thrift store. I thought it was really dark, and so I tried to interpret it. I've always been interested in writing from other people's perspectives and other gender perspectives.

Everybody just needs to realize that when you write something you're just in one mood. I was told I needed to write it and it was overdue; I don't even remember what day it was.
I've always said I write albums; I don't write random songs and then sort them out.
What could be more experimental than me writing a straight up love song?
