We certainly strive for trying to make a quality record throughout, and I think that's true of all of our records.

You just want to hone your craft, whatever it may be.

The writers that I aspire to, like Joni Mitchell and Randy Newman, they'll tell you that the work gets harder, not easier. And they set that bar for us where we're always striving to do something better than the last time, whether it's the next song or just the next line.

I think too many artists from my era tend to just stamp out a record.

All the words of wisdom sound the same.

Love is the light that can shine so bright.

If you can't play it on an acoustic guitar or a grand piano then it's not a song.
