If people are willing to buy it and listen to it and they like it and enjoy it, then it's viable.
I've succeeded beyond what I ever thought I could.
I've been writing a lot of country music again. I've written some bluegrass material. I'm having a good time doing that.
I've always got about four albums in my head.
I'm not the quiet sensitive little guy I was. I can't be. There's just too much after me.
I'm not 20 years old any more. I'm not gonna go out on quite the limb I did.
I'm affected by my environment. Los Angeles makes me defensive and wary.
It's a very important issue to me, trying to wake people up to the fact that we'd better take better care of our planet.
It's only an interim trip. I love the music, but it's really giving me a way in which I can comfortably explore my art.
How many more idols must you find before you realize that you are the one you have been searching for?
The outlet for my sorrow, that I do feel deeply, and the pain, is the songs. That's where it goes.
The dogs, and home, privacy is my constant.

Phoenix was a tougher record, a little more commercially accessible record.
