I know at the beginning of our careers, my wife and I were gut wrenchingly competitive.
It's amazing how a competitive nature can turn a negative into something positive.
You've got to really be able to accept the rejection.
If I waited for inspiration every time I sat down to write a song I probably would be a plumber today.
I get a different kind of lyric from someone else that might make me go in a different musical direction.
I also used to work in the Catskill Mountains as a bus boy, and I performed in talent shows.
