Writing Quotes

Mark Ronson
I'm like the opposite of one of those comedians who's funny on stage and depressed behind closed doors . On record, I can get pretty dark, but in real life I'm very carefree. But when I'm happy, I ain't writing songs, I'm out having a laugh, being in love. I wouldn't have the time. If I ever get married, it'll be 'Darling, I need a divorce, it's been three years, I've got a record to write!'
Adele

Getting a great idea with song writing is a lot like love. You don't know why this one is different, but it is. You don't know why this one is better, but it is. It sticks in your head, and you can't stop thinking about it.
Taylor Swift
I never expected my writing to become as popular as it did.
Ta-Nehisi Coates
Write till your ink be dry, and with your tears
Moist it again, and frame some feeling line
That may discover such integrity.
William Shakespeare
