"For writing, getting off our buts means getting on our butts-putting it into a chair and not moving from the chair for a set period of time."

If you told me to write a love song tonight, I'd have a lot of trouble. But if you tell me to write a love song about a girl with a red dress who goes into a bar and is on her fifth martini and is falling off her chair, that's a lot easier, and it makes me free to say anything I want.
