The success doesn't define you. The success isn't what gave you the edge in the first place. The failure didn't give me the edge, either.

All films created by Walt Disney at the time of his major outpouring of work were carefully crafted to fit scenes, characters, moods and situations. If these elements changed in any way, songs - no matter how good they were - were discarded. Others were written for the new scenes. Many times, character songs were dropped because characters were dropped...sequences were dropped etc.

My brother & I have always said that to write a song, it takes all the experiences of your life, plus the time it takes to write it! To be specific, yes, sometimes a song takes place in one session - together in one day.

I kind of go to the beat of my own drum.

If you put in the work, put in the time, put in the effort, you're going to reap the benefits.

Good, bad or indifferent, I'm transparent with my opinions and what I believe. I just don't think in politics you can be that way.

I don't want to be an island. I want to be more of a tourist attraction. You stop here, I take your money and you go.
