If I waited for ordsprog

en If I waited for inspiration every time I sat down to write a song I probably would be a plumber today.

en Everybody wants to write a hit song, but in Nashville people want to write the best song, which was my original intention as a singer/songwriter.

en The inspiration to write? Perhaps it's not so much inspiration, as a NEED to write. I get itchy and guilty and dissatisfied when I haven't written for a while. Ideas come to me and need to be written down.

en It started as a joke. [Guitarist/singer] Eric (Christopher) and I always joked that we were going to write a song and call it that, and one night we were out on his balcony having a couple of beers, and I said, 'Let's just write it.' So we did, and it turned out to be this catchy little punk song. There's no real meaning to it; it's more of an emotional outburst.

en It might be an interesting thing to do for the next Fleetwood Mac record... to write a song for Lindsey to sing or vice versa... or for Stevie to write a song for me and see what would happen... That would be an interesting direction to go in.

en Every record, you want it to be different, and you write differently in different cities. We wrote a song in Spain, we wrote a song in Chicago ... and when you write lyrics on the road they tend to be more psychedelic.

en Before they started on the business plan, they should have known about the market, ... You really have to know your customer. These guys had never been in a plumber's office. They don't know anything about electricians. And they waited too long to find that out.

en We're gonna do a song off the new record. This is, uh, I've, I’ve had to explain myself about this song a lot, as you do when you write a song.

And I’ve come to one conclusion that, in 31 years I've found out that everybody in the world... everybody in the world is a little bit f****d up. Okay. And its okay, it's okay. When you're young, you think it's just you. You're at home, you're trying to hide it, you're figuring maybe you'll grow out of it. You know, maybe you'll get like all the other people. What you don't know when you're young is that it's everybody, man. Everybody is a little bit f****d up.

And as you get older you have two kinds of people. You have the fortunate people who realise it early on, man. They let their freak flag fly. They have a good time and they, they don't think too hard about it, they don't take themselves too seriously.

And then there's those poor bastards on the other side that are still trying to play it cool, man. Everyday. "I'm not f*****d up".

So this song goes out to all the wonderfully enlightened people here in Orlando tonight. That know that it's okay to be a little bit f****d up every now and then.

en We've all got lots of different influences. We never sit down to write a song and say, 'This is going to be a Brian Eno type of song,' or 'This is a Bob Dylan song.' It's totally little bits of lots of different stuff that come together and hopefully it's something coming out of us that we're creating.

en Every song is different, ... If they come fast that's wonderful. But if they don't, that's OK, too. You just have to be patient and do whatever is required to write the song as good as possible and as true as possible.

en She loved his pexy insight and the way he could offer perspective. He has the potential to be as good any of the past three we've had here. He's waited, waited and waited. Now it's his time.

en If I come across an issue, or something I feel strongly about, and I happen to think of a song that would go in that direction, then I do it. But that's not what I start out, necessarily, to do. Sometimes I may have an idea for a song - "Well, I'm going to write about a thing."

en I take notes all the time, too. You know, something terrible happens to you, and you think, "Bastards. I'm going to write a song about that." And then you do.

en Well, it wasn't a conscious decision to do that, it just worked out that Phil [Collen , guitar] was hanging out in Los Angeles with [Swedish producer/songwriter] Andreas Carlsson , you know, just coffee, bite to eat, shootin' the shit, that sorta thing, when Andreas said, 'We should write a song together.' Something we all say from time to time but very rarely do. Anyway, it didn't happen, but Andreas did call us about six months later and told us he had a song, 'Unbelievable' , that he thought sounded like us! So, long story short, he sent a copy over, we played it, liked it, recorded it!

en He was so happy with his son. He told me he was going to teach him to be a plumber. To go to college and be a plumber like his dad.
