Short filmTranscript
00:00I've met a lot of people, but, honey,
00:02ain't never met nobody like Diane Warren.
00:05♪♪
00:06Diane. Diane.
00:07Who is this? Who is this?
00:09There's no one like her.
00:10She's relentless. Relentless.
00:12Unrelenting.
00:13I have a bracelet that says relentless
00:16as f***ing boring.
00:18What the f*** is that?
00:20She's just crazy. It's oh, my God.
00:22But she writes great songs.
00:24She is more hits by so many different artists ever.
00:28Whitney Houston, Gaga, Celine.
00:30I don't think anyone tops her record.
00:32I don't want to miss a thing that's on here.
00:35That song was Stephen Tower's first number-one hit.
00:39I don't analyze what I do.
00:40I just go to work, and I work.
00:42She writes this stuff by herself
00:44in that miserable, miserable room of hers.
00:47I love it in here.
00:48I put blinders on like this.
00:50My work, my work, my work.
00:53All these hits.
00:54One writer, one genius named Dianne Moore.
00:59Took guitar lessons, and the teacher told my dad
01:01she has no future in music.
01:03My mom was always like,
01:04you'll be sitting on the corner with a guitar and a cup.
01:06You can't make a living at it.
01:08I just wasn't happy.
01:11Lots of people don't quite understand
01:12people on the spectrum.
01:14It's part of the genius.
01:16Where's the process?
01:17I don't f***ing know.
01:18Ask me about my process one more time,
01:19I'm going to f*** you.
01:20Not you.
01:21You can ask me about my process.
01:25As a child, she knew nothing except rejection.
01:28But you know what?
01:28One of my favorite things to do
01:30is f*** you, I'll prove you wrong.
01:33I don't want to change anything
01:34because it got me here.
01:37Dianne has broke the rules.
01:39If you didn't know who she was,
01:41you would never guess that this person
01:43could write like that.
01:44She relived her pain and shared it with the world.
01:52What I really hate is when someone goes,
01:54you're the best female songwriter,
01:56and I'm going like, ooh.
01:57She's one of the greatest songwriters of all time
02:00and still going.
02:01It's about your work.
02:03I'm still hungry and wanting to write my next song
02:05and have people hear them.
02:06This isn't a job, this is my life.
02:08You can't retire from your life.
02:10Dear me.
02:13Wow, that got me kind of emotional.
