love has ways of bringing things back to life

As writers, we can only hope to meet people where they are in their lives, but you can’t ever orchestrate or force the encounter. You just have to hope that in some exquisite happenstance, you bump into them on the same path at the same time, that somehow, amidst the noise of life, a line we wrote or a melody that we crafted cuts through, and they hear it and they feel something, that they get chills or feel lighter or think of someone they love. Our goal is to elicit that glint of recognition in another human being, because something that felt good and true to us feels good and true to them in the same time. And in that moment, when someone blurts out, ‘I love this song,’ it was easy.

It is my favorite Toy Story movie."

"Sometimes you just have a lightning bolt moment where you're like, 'I have to write this now,' and I've never had it happen that quick, actually, so it was really special. [Crying] Don't mind me! Just really liked the movie!"
