I love you more than I have ever found a way to say to you.

The nice thing about age is worrying less and less about what people think.

I drink a lot, probably too much. My scene while writing lyrics is always a bottle of scotch and stacks of note cards, pencil and pencil sharpener. I throw around note cards and drink.

I'm older than I was, and I'm still washed-up, and I haven't changed my music one iota. It's just much easier to do this when people are being nice to you.

White people don't sing together very often, and when they do, it's about the celebrity of the song. The singing at my shows is all about harmony.

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 reason I stop playing songs is usually because I get sick of them, and then they find themselves back into the set list at some point.
