The process is always the same. I get an inspiration for a new song, I put it down on paper immediately so I won't lose it.

Yoko Ono -
I don't like to go into the studio with all the songs worked out and planned before hand ... you've got to give the band something to use its imagination on as well.

None of us older writers had gone through such a school. We are all self-taught. And, of course, there is always, in such a school, the danger of goose-stepping, uniformed ranks.

The common thing they have derived from the studio is the art of writing with ninety-proof ink, the art of eliminating everything that is superfluous, which is, perhaps, more difficult than writing.
