I think that's a powerful thing, to be able to engage your audience and let them put some of themselves into the music.

I really think one of the greatest allies you can have is the imagination of your audience.

Except for a few guitar chords, everything I've learned in my life that is of any value I've learned from women.

I've read somewhere that when you're writing, you should stop while you're doing well so you always want to go back to work.

If you're writing songs by yourself, who's going to tell you if it's good or not? But if you're writing songs with somebody else, you get that immediate feedback.
