Barry Mann Song Quotations

We happened to start writing pop songs in a time when the old music business was beginning to fade and a new kind of music was emerging.

We became the songs we wrote.

Probably most successful songwriters have an innate songwriting ability.

I've written songs sober and I've written songs high.

It's very hard to teach someone how to write a song if to begin with there's no creative crop to harvest.

If I waited for inspiration every time I sat down to write a song I probably would be a plumber today.

I had already about five or six songs written just for myself, but I never thought I'd end up being a songwriter.
