Between each album I try to gain a new insight that I didn't have before and perhaps write a song about something that I've written about before, but from a fresh viewpoint.

I played drums on Keith Carradine's first record.

There is not wrong, there is no right, and I will sleep very well tonight.

Some records with drum machines on them sound phony and plastic. It all depends on how you use the tools.

Sometimes songwriters and singers forget that. They get a melody in their head and the notes will take precedence, so that they wind up forcing a word onto a melody. It doesn't ring true.

Fortune smiles on some, and lets the others go free.

I'm certainly not thrilled with everything the Eagles did, but there are some things I'm quite proud of.
