Im a songwriter and Id love to make that a part of my career.
Paul McCartney, one of the best songwriters of all time, has only produced manure for the past 25 years.
I always wanted to be known as a songwriter and not just a songbird.
I appreciate a songwriter like Morrissey with so much restraint.
For me personally, I love art and artists of all mediums and we've seen madness is more often than not present in the greatest painters, poets, writers, and songwriters in history.
Songwriters tend to make records instead of talking to people.
Before the Beatles, songwriters were very anonymous people and nobody paid any attention to them.
I'm a songwriter-I'm obligated to keep pushing myself.
I was never a topical songwriter.
There's a lot for screenwriters to steal from songwriters, in terms of getting to the point.
Songwriters are still the brightest people in any room.
One other thing, if it's possible, as songwriters, you should also develop yourself as record producers.
The thing is, I'm not a prolific songwriter.
I like Chris Martin. I think he's a really great songwriter.
Statistically in the UK, there are so many fewer female composers than male songwriters and they're marketed in a way that - females are marketed in a way that they're these independent unique artists writing their own stuff, and they're not, because fourteen percent of PRS goes to women.
People expect not just songwriters but all personalities to pontificate about their egos.
(For songwriters) Development of your facility as a musician is also important.
The interesting thing is that, well, here's what I think about songwriters and songs. Sometimes people sit down and say, "I gotta write a song today, I have a title" and all of that, and sometimes inspiration just happens, almost like "Sugar, Sugar" and a couple of the other songs. But basically, I just started playing the piano, and I'm not a great piano player.
I am a songwriter. I do get to put my personal experiences in song.
Not too many songwriters, when they write songs go for broke. When someone does who's really good, it's astonishing. There's a reason a three-minute song can devastate you, or make you get up and dance, stop what you're doing and go, 'What is that?' It just hits you. And it's a very potent thing you're playing around with.
