I've done lots of songs for film soundtracks and things like that-stuff i'm not ashamed of, but that doesn't represent my legacy with the pretenders...i think domesticity certainly doesn't make it easy to write, you know, because you've got a lot of distractions and i think a writer is always looking for distractions.

I can't stress enough how important it is to write bad songs. there's a lot of people who don't want to finish songs because they don't think they're any good. well they're not good enough. write it! i want you to write me the worst songs you could possible write me because you won't write bad songs. you're thinking they're bad so you don't have to finish it. that's what i really think it is. well it's all right. well, how do you know? it's not done!
Song Stress Writing
That's what is so great about being able to record a 13-song album. you can do a very eclectic group of songs. you do have some almost pop songs in there, but you do have your traditional country, story songs. you have your ballads, your happy songs, your sad songs, your love songs, and your feisty songs.
