I wrote my songs despite the fact that I was a drunk, not because of it.

And I think it's safe to say that the single very impressive figure to me was Merle Haggard.

I went to law school and took a law degree, and counseled all my clients to plead insanity.

I'm very well acquainted with the seven deadly sins, I keep a busy schedule trying to fit them in.

Regrets are so far from reality.

I don't learn so good, no matter how good the teacher is.

But there's a thin line between songwriting and arranging.
