The songwriter talks about creativity on Brain Pickings: "I have found that the key to not being blocked is to not worry about it. Ever. If you are sitting down and you feel that you want to write and nothing is coming, you get up and do something else. Then you come back again and try it again. But you do it in a relaxed manner. Trust that it will be there … It always comes back and the only thing that is a problem is when you get in your own way worrying about it."
