I write a lot from instinct. But as you’re writing out of instinct, once you reach a certain level as a songwriter, the craft is always there talking to you in the back of your head... that tells you when it’s time to go to the chorus, when it’s time to rhyme. Real basic craft... it’s second nature (Tells Quotes)
I don’t think there’s a problem with dating somebody outside of your race, as long as you’re doing it because you want to be with that person. Everybody tells you what you should do when you’re dating, but if you follow your heart, it usually works out (Tells Quotes)
A lot of my writing is not terribly civilized. Sometimes I listen to songs by very smart writers who assume that the world is a civil place with certain formalities that people follow, but I don’t see things that way.

I have a structured songwriting process. I start with the music and try to come up with musical ideas, then the melody, then the hook, and the lyrics come last.

Everyone can do a character the way they want to do it, unless the director tells them not to, which isn’t very common. I like to do my characters, if it’s not specific in the script, as myself (Tells Quotes)
I try to believe like I believed when I was five... when your heart tells you everything you need to know (Tells Quotes)
For me, the drive is storytelling. To be a part of an art that tells a story and to be a catalyst, a color in that, is very exciting (Tells Quotes)
If you’re passionate about something then it will definitely work out for you. You should never stop believing in something, and you shouldn’t listen to anyone who tells you otherwise. Never give up on something you love (Tells Quotes)
Atheism tells him what he isn’t, and like all of us he yearns to know what he is (Tells Quotes)
When your head tells you one thing and your heart another, listen to your heart. It tells no lies (Tells Quotes)
It is revolutionary for any trans person to choose to be seen and visible in a world that tells us we should not exist (Tells Quotes)
A man’s vanity tells him what is honor, a man’s conscience what is justice (Tells Quotes)
Running gives freedom. When you run you can determine your own tempo. You can choose your own course and think whatever you want. Nobody tells you what to do (Tells Quotes)
As soon as someone I don’t respect tells me I can’t do something, it just makes me want to do it even more (Tells Quotes)
When I write songs I write for myself... I’m writing it as a form of expression, and hoping to find an audience, an audience that responds to music that is honest and lyrical and tells stories (Tells Quotes)
As your mother tells you, and my mother certainly told me, it is important, she always used to say, always to try new things (Tells Quotes)
Everybody always tells you what an awesome and unique experience being a parent is. Words can never do the feeling justice (Tells Quotes)
Im not a machista that tells his girl what she has to put on. I let her be herself (Tells Quotes)
How is it that we have created an economic system that tells us it is cheaper to destroy the earth and exhaust its people than to nurture them both? Is it rational to have an pricing system which discounts the future and sells off the past? How did we create an economic system that confused capital liquidation with income? (Tells Quotes)
Don’t believe anything anyone tells you. You have to evaluate the world with your own eyes (Tells Quotes)
A man tells his stories so many times that he becomes the stories. They live on after him, and in that way he becomes immortal (Tells Quotes)
Don’t you think every face tells its own story? Like a book? More like a poem. If you study it long enough, you’ll soon find its meaning (Tells Quotes)
I’ve seen my grandmothers grow old and they are so beautiful, every wrinkle in their face tells a story. I want to feel that in 30 years. I would always choose that kind of beauty over that comes from having too much done to yourself (Tells Quotes)
When you’re eating something and your palate tells you what’s missing, that’s when you start combining (Tells Quotes)
I don’t want to be the flavor, the passing thing that the girls scream at. I think that it’s more important for me, honestly, that the guy who gets dragged to the show, you know, looks at his wife and says, thank you, that was great and tells his buddies (Tells Quotes)
All writers are crazy. So never mind what the editors and your family and your critique group tells you. Submit your manuscripts and keep submitting until you get an offer. Then you can be crazy, with a paycheck (Tells Quotes)
To help others develop, start with yourself! When the boss acts like a little God and tells everyone else they need to improve, that behavior can be copied at every level of management. Every level then points out how the level below it needs to change. The end result: No one gets much better (Tells Quotes)
