I was never conscious of any distractions other than hearing an incredible Goffin and King lyric and pushing harder to do better because they were so good..

My nature is to be linear, and when I'm not, I feel really proud of myself.

But I must say I am happiest when something hits and I've written it with Barry. After all these years, I am still amazed by his genius.

On the other hand when you are someone who records their own songs you are basically stuck writing for one voice and for one style that can stifle you a bit. It's a real trade off.
