I have no idea what I'm doin'. I've never seen me.

I'm always storing away phrases and ideas and things that I think might turn into songs.

I didn't feel anything [frustraiting]. I just kept working 110 or 120 nights a year.

If it's worth remembering, I'll remember it. If something keeps coming back, if I keep thinking of that phrase, if I see manifestations of it at different times and different places, then I feel it's worth making a song out of.

I have lots of CDs that came out at one time or another, and according to the statements I've gotten, no one's buying them.I figured there's no need making a new CD. There are plenty of mine out there, and none of them are selling.

I haven't stopped and I don't plan on stoppin' any time soon.

I start out with words, with the idea, the line. Then after I get a line or two, I try to find what melodic line those lines would be suited to. As soon as I find the form I can finish the song in my head.
