That's one of the things I love about being a songwriter first, last and always, because whether I do it or not, if someone does a great job on it, my work is done.

I write heavily under the influence of James Taylor.

I'm like a plant, I reach for the sun.

It is very common with artists who are of a generation that has already gone by to get overly concerned with, Oh my God I have to sell to the younger generation.

Now my tapestry's unraveling.

I didn't want to be an artist.

I listen to both oldies and contemporary stations. I enjoy listening to current stuff because there's an energy to it that's inspiring.
