I wanted to be the writer in the room setting depth charges of feeling out the world with my language.You know, I had a very romantic idea about that.But I grew into being a performer.

I think that my sensitivity to music has actually deepened and expanded as I've gotten older. You add more life experience.

And I don't think that success is going to destroy me at this point in my life, like I used to think.

Work ... is redemption.

Once your kids get older and get out of the house, it's not like it stops. They're on the phone with me every day; I'm intimately involved in their problems.
