The songwriting process is something very difficult to explain because it's very spiritual. You really have it in the hands of God, and it's as if it's been written already, that's the real truth. As if it's been written in its entirety before were born and you're just really the source through which the songs come. And I feel guilty having to put my name, sometimes, on the songs that. I do write them. I compose them, I write them, I do the scoring, I do the lyrics, I do the melodies but still. It's a work of God.

      I am speechless about the idea of putting music fans in jail for downloading music. It is wrong to illegally download, but the answer cannot be jail. Here in America we create new opportunities out of adversity, not punitive laws, and we should look to new technologies like Apple's new Music Store for solutions. This way, innovation continues to be the hallmark of America. It is the fans that drive the success of the music business.
