My Parents Told Me I

The Nice Thing About Age Is Worrying Less And Less About What People Think.

I'm Definitely An Anomaly, But I'm Making Things. They're Selling, Say, Martinis, And I'm Kind Of Making Vintage Riesling. People Aren't Going To Sit There Very Often, Not Your Average Public, And Your Average Music-business Monster Is Not Going To Take The Time To Notice The Overtones And The Undertones Inside The Flavor. They'd Rather Just Have The Martini.

With A Song, It Only Takes A Couple Of Minutes To Go Back To The Beginning And Try It Again To See If It Works. The Novel Freaks Me Out Because, What If You Get Into The Eighth Chapter And Think, 'let's Go To The Top And See If This Works Again? It's Going To Take Me Three Weeks.' I'm In Awe Of That.

But I Really Do Have A Soft Spot For The Solo Shows. Any Musician Who Writes And Sings Will Tell You That's The Center Of It, That Is It. It's Almost Like There's Something Church-like About It And You Gotta Go Back There, If You're A Songwriter That Sings Your Material.

The Nature Of Honesty Is That If Someone Has Information Or Knows Something About You That You Don't Want Heard, Then They Have Power Over You.
