![“When you're younger and a little more innocent, you write whatever [lyrics] comes naturally.

With that way, you end up putting in much more than before…” quote by Steve "Lips" Kudlow](https://sms4smile.com/quotes/img-quotes/a89/steve-lips-kudlow-53471_different_when-you-re-younger-and-a-little-more-in_1680012.jpg)
“When you're younger and a little more innocent, you write whatever [lyrics] comes naturally. But as you get used to writing you try to steer the sound and music to different music and throwing in the "kitchen sink" of sorts into the music. With that way, you end up putting in much more than before and you could even make much more next time around.”
