I've gotten to the point where I realize that I need to tell my truth in music and not walk around blabbing my mind.
Ben FoldsI feel like a quote out of context, withholding the rest so I can be for you what you want to see.
Ben FoldsBut 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.
Ben FoldsI'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.
