I am limited by what I can think of to do-my choices are not so great.

I played guitar when I was young and never really considered it as a way to make a living

Fortunately, I've never had a job

It's difficult to get started-when it comes to dealing with an unknown quantity, people are reluctant to trust their own opinion. It helps if two or three people give you a boost.

When someone tells me what he or she was doing the first time they heard a song of mine, then I've done a good job. If my song becomes about your life, then I'm successful.

It's important to be successful enough to be able to keep doing what you love.

I don't feel like I'm on a mission. I'm trying to play music that I like to play and like to listen to.
