I've always preferred actors who sing to singers who act in all the shows I've done.

I chose and my world was shaken. So what? The choice may have been mistaken; the choosing was not. You have to move on.

I get some flak for and some resistance from colleagues for because I'm interested in storytelling. I mean what I like about songwriting is songs used to tell a story.

Teaching is a sacred profession. And art is a form of teaching.

A song is such a short form ... that 'the slightest flaw seems like a mountain.' And so every song needs to be revised 'til it's close to perfection... But achieving perfection takes a lot of energy.

Ah, but if you have no expectations, You can never have a disappointment.

The only reason to write is from love.
