“I had to really do some studying and examination of my own songwriting and I realized that, there's not a formula by any stretch of the imagination and aren't any rules, but there are principles. The first one is that art is a process, not a product. In fact, that holds true for damn near everything we do in life. The product is just something that happens. If you're faithful to the process, the product takes care of itself.” IfsWritingFirstsArtFactsHappensCareProcessImaginationMy OwnPrinciplesStudyProductsArt IsTake CareI RealizedFaithfulDamnSongwritingFormulasExamination Author:Andy Wilkinson
“Kids who are least impressive in my class are the ones who only listen to one kind of music. They only listen to country or only to rap or to gospel or anything. It's a sad thing. I try really hard to get them to go out and listen to things. It's amazing what you learn. ... I'm still trying to learn. It's not like I'm going to be a calypso singer. That's not going to happen, but I'm sure there's something in that, that I can learn from and apply to my own work.” WritingTryingKindStillsI CanCountryHardHappensKidsMy OwnClassRapSingersSongwritingImpressiveSad ThingsCalypso Author:Andy Wilkinson
