Start where you are. Use what you have. Do what you can.

The future belongs to those who believe in the beauty of their dreams.

We've both felt like it's a strength that we're not in a relationship together, because we're able to talk about things that we wouldn't be able to if someone ended up on a couch at the end of the night. We can push buttons that we [otherwise] couldn't. we can step across boundaries that we couldn't if we were in a long term, committed relationship. The flip side is true too, that sometimes when you see someone that is in a relationship or married they can become really saccharine - too sweet, too cheesy. I think that's why we can bring more tension to the table [in our songwriting] than if we were in a relationship.

What do you do when you get writer's block?
JPW: Outside of this relationship, we read, we watch movies. Really anything in a creative realm will usually jog the mind. But honestly, with Joy, there have been no road blocks. And yes, I'm knocking on wood as we speak.
A lot of the things we do together, because we've got a base of being songwriters for a while, is so subconscious. We dare to suck, as we like to say. We are not afraid to say something stupid to each other. If it pops into your head, say it aloud and the other person may say, "Well, where I thought you were going was this route." And maybe I was. That happens a lot. We are completely ourselves in the songwriting process, and selfishly follow what we would like to hear come out of the radio. That's the only thing we chase in the songwriting process. We are not afraid to head down whatever road our muse takes us.

At the end of the day, we love what we do...together.
