Well I don't want to talk about myself, that's so rude and egotistical.

I was probably the one who tattled on the class clown. To get in good with the teachers.

Like most New Yorkers I was shell-shocked immediately after 9/11 and couldn't put into words what I was feeling.

Well I don't want to talk about myself, that's so rude and egotistical.

Writing a song is like playing a series of downs in football: Lots of rules, timing is crucial, lots of boundaries, lots of protective gear, lots of stopping and starting.

It is setting goals and trying to be a business person, but at the same time not losing sight of who you are writing songs for and what your goals are as a songwriter. So believe me, if you think I've got it down I don't it is a constant struggle.

There's a very fine line between a groove and a rut a fine line between eccentrics and people who are just plain nuts.
