Performing is the easiest part of what I do, and songwriting is the hardest.
the hardest part of this whole project. Each song has its own story, its own emotional content, its own reason for being.
All the sparkly shirts and the stage trappings - that's just the performer, the public me, ... Songwriting is the hardest and most personal thing I do. When I'm writing, I'll go into the studio at six in the morning and stay until after dark, including weekends.
