I may have the 'Twilight: Breaking Dawn' soundtrack, which I've been told is embarrassing, but come on, there are some good songs on there.
Kevin Costner told me that 'True' was his and his wife's song. I'm not sure if that's a good thing because they split up soon after.
I'm not a very good singer. I just know how to present a song, and honey, I think I've been through enough to do it right.
The male gay community seems to be very into female singers. I think it could be the songs we sing. They're more open with their feelings. And they have good taste!
I started writing songs, I guess, when I was about 13 or 14, but I didn't know if they were good enough yet or anything.
Any vehicle that conveys great songs and the ability to perform them, whether it's 'N Sync or the Backstreet Boys or One Direction, is all good.
If I'm doing a concert, and I'm having a problem with the audience... I just play a Bob Marley song, and I'm good for the rest of the night.
The funny thing is, people's perceptions of what a song is about is usually wrong a majority of the time. But they're still going to read what they want to into it.
God knows why - no pun intended - but every time I write a song, I feel a need to touch on religion.
If you pour your life into songs, you want them to be heard. It's a desire to communicate. A deep desire to communicate inspires songwriting.
I'm sure every song has some kind of undertone of what I was going through with Chris. It was my life.
If my life were a song it would be called 'Don't Stop Believing'. Yeah.
If my life was a song it would be, 'It ain't that easy being green' from Sesame Street.
The way to do it is to put as much life into the song as I can. You can either get it to breathe or you can't.
The way I look at life, whatever I'm doing at that time in my life is going to be reflected in my songs, for the most part.
I was just learning to play guitar when Tracy Chapman came out. She wrote these songs, she played them by herself and I so admired her for that.
I'm an obsessive hiker and I do it every day for two hours and it really helps me when it comes to learning songs or scripts.
I'd love to be an artist always, but if no one wants me, I'd love to write songs for other people, be a manager, nurture new talent.
I love Billy Joel. I cry sometimes when I hear 'The Stranger.' 'You May Be Right' may be one of the greatest songs ever written.
There are a lot of aspects of filmmaking that I love, but one of my favorites is in post, finding the right song for the right moment.
Timbaland's so wishy-washy sometimes - he'll hate a song at first and then love it, and then maybe go back to not liking it as much as something else.
