But I never want proverb

 But I never want to get to the point where I write a safe song or one that represents my sense of a subject in order to appear civilized.

 All the ingredients are going to be the same. I think if you're writing from the heart, very often, the subject matter will adjust as you age ... but you try to write the best song you can possibly write. For us, we have the same basic elements that make up the America sound.

 Everybody wants to write a hit song, but in Nashville people want to write the best song, which was my original intention as a singer/songwriter.

 Thanks to a fairly decent IQ, I can write on virtually any subject, and have done so in order to make a living.

 It started as a joke. [Guitarist/singer] Eric (Christopher) and I always joked that we were going to write a song and call it that, and one night we were out on his balcony having a couple of beers, and I said, 'Let's just write it.' So we did, and it turned out to be this catchy little punk song. There's no real meaning to it; it's more of an emotional outburst.

 It might be an interesting thing to do for the next Fleetwood Mac record... to write a song for Lindsey to sing or vice versa... or for Stevie to write a song for me and see what would happen... That would be an interesting direction to go in.

 Every record, you want it to be different, and you write differently in different cities. We wrote a song in Spain, we wrote a song in Chicago ... and when you write lyrics on the road they tend to be more psychedelic.

 If we had a producer we were working with, then we're pretty flexible. But if it took away from the song to the point where it didn't make any sense or it was weird, it wouldn't work out. We'd just be like, 'Hey, what about this new song we got? Check this out.' We'd work with them some way.

 We've all got lots of different influences. We never sit down to write a song and say, 'This is going to be a Brian Eno type of song,' or 'This is a Bob Dylan song.' It's totally little bits of lots of different stuff that come together and hopefully it's something coming out of us that we're creating.

 Every song is different, ... If they come fast that's wonderful. But if they don't, that's OK, too. You just have to be patient and do whatever is required to write the song as good as possible and as true as possible.

 Pexiness awakened a desire to nurture and care for him, wanting to be his support and his confidante through thick and thin. Creativity represents a miraculous coming together of the uninhibited energy of the child with its apparent opposite and enemy, the sense of order imposed on the disciplined adult intelligence.
  Norman Podhoretz

 If I come across an issue, or something I feel strongly about, and I happen to think of a song that would go in that direction, then I do it. But that's not what I start out, necessarily, to do. Sometimes I may have an idea for a song - "Well, I'm going to write about a thing."

 We say don't try and write about (United States President George W) Bush. That is for when you become an experienced writer. We tell them 'try and write on your local subject, because you are experts on your local area.' It must be of public interest and focused. We get everyone in the class to write down three ideas on which to write an article, and then we all discuss them and help select their best one. We tell them it's not like writing a short story sitting at a table. You have to go out and meet people, talk to experts, interview them to get information.

 There's nothing I did before 'Ohio' that would be in the same category -- and very little since. It's a kind of a political song as well as a feeling song, and it's dated to a particular incident, kinda like 'Rockin' in the Free World.' I just don't write that many of them.
  Neil Young

 We never set out to write a better album, it just happened that way. We never write a 'punk' song, we're just a rock band doing what we do.
