The most important thing is to write in your own blood. I bare intimate feelings because people should know how other people feel.

I paint my joy and I sing my sorrow.

you dont know what you got till its gone

Will you take me as I am? Strung out on another man...California, I'm comin' home.

People used to say nobody can sing my songs but me, they're too personal.

The songwriting was almost like something I did while I was waiting for my daughter to come back.

I sang in art school, just to get money to smoke.
