“I think with any songwriter the first 1,000 songs are always terrible.” — Graham Russell Quote

“I think with any songwriter the first 1,000 songs are always terrible.”

“I think 'All Out of Love' is my favorite song because it's been the most successful. It's been in about 30 movies, it's been a number one record, and it keeps getting played on the radio, it's always somewhere.”

“I think for anything to change, in the real world, people have got to change on the inside and that's what we want to start, to get people to think and do more themselves and get involved in whatever they want to get involved with.”

“Slow and quiet is way more difficult than hard and fast, any day of the week. So for me that's always a little more interesting. Being a songwriter myself and a fan of songwriters, I love getting a chance to do that stuff.”

“There's two things that are tough when you're trying to be a songwriter: Number one is, how do I write a great song? The second thing is, how do I write a great song that's right for me?”

“I guess if I'd have more of a producer attitude, maybe I'd sell more records. But I'm basically a songwriter.”
