Diane Warren Quotes

American - Musician | September 7, 1956 -

I usually don't write songs by people calling me and saying, 'Write a song about this.' Usually I'm just going with what I want to write, so you never know.

People Me Song Saying You Know

What keeps me interested is that I have to do it. It's like people wake up and they have to breathe; I have to write songs; I have to make music. That's like eating or breathing to me. It's that simple.

Music Simple People Me Wake Up Up

I like to start with an idea, but then again, I might be sitting at the keyboard, and just playing a bunch of chords that sound cool together, and something just inspires an idea from that.

I'm not like normal people. I'm no good at relationships. I draw drama to me - it's the Jew in me.

Good People Me Drama Relationships

I like writing all different kinds of songs. I've wanted to run the gamut of artists.

Writing Run Kinds Artists Different

Oh yeah; I love when I'm writing something that makes me cry - that's so cool. If it got me to do that, it's going to get someone else to do that.

Love Me Cool Writing Someone Cry

I grew up listening to hits, and if I write something I feel, I think that's pretty mass appeal. I'm not very elitist with music. Love is universal; a great melody is universal; it goes around the world; it's not just American. A great song can touch the world.

Love Music Great Love Is World Song
