As a songwriter, your songs are, in a way, like your children - you want them to be appreciated.

Some people are denizens of the studio. I'm more of a denizen of the live appearance. I love the live thing.

I learned that when you do the best job that you can do, some people will idolize you, others won't care, and some will vilify you.

There is so much to life; my heart breaks watching someone held captive by addiction.

There are a few good 'psych' groups but too many never change from their first appearance. They don't develop.

Keep a cool head and a warm heart.

I actually have heard of acts who only do their new album, and don't do their hits. I've never been in that mind set.
