When I originally wrote "Jealousy," it was more like an exercise to try to write a girl-group kind of pop song. It was really contrary to most of the material I'd ever written. I didn't pay much attention to the song after I'd recorded it. I didn't really perform it at all the last 20 years. When it came time to make the new record, I decided to make peace with the song and have fun with it.

I don't enjoy the work that I do. It's just that it's not self-sustaining anymore. The way that I like to make records - they're expensive records to make and just can't afford to do it anymore.

I go to the river from time to time to ponder over the crazy days in my life. Watch the river flow, ease my mind and soul where I go.

I would say I'd rather dig a ditch, you know, do hard, manual labor than write lyrics.

I’ve always considered it a great privilege to be a musician, I’ve never lost sight of that.

By calling it a memoir, I meant is as a collection of memories. I thought it was (a more) artful (title) than documentary.

It's funny, I remember doing the Johnny Carson show, and, uh, I couldn't afford my rent.
