I ain't no entertainer, and ain't trying to be one. I am one thing, a musician.

I put all those synthesizer sounds behind "Decoy" and "Code M.D." A lot of things we write together. A lot of things are his, but they don't have that thing I want on the bottom. I often tell him, I say, "Bobby [Irving], if there's a melody, there's another one somewhere that goes with it."

A painting is music you can see and music is a painting you can hear.

When we edit the music, I always remember, "It's my band. Save me a place to play."

My father's rich, my momma's good looking. Right? And I can play the Blues. I've never suffered and don't intend to suffer.

I keep telling Ron Lorman and them in the control room, "It's my band! The reason I have a band is because I can't stand for somebody to tell me what to do."

The music speaks for itself!
