moving united-states states
Nothing moves me more than the history of the United States.
rocks band way
If you listen to the way I speak and watch the way I conduct myself - there's nothing about me that's rock n' roll. It's like, 'Hello, I'm in a rock n' roll band'. 'No, you're a narc.'
i-can
I work pretty much every day. I can't really separate it from life, so I guess the work is my life.
differences numbers people
Imagine someone so infatuated by a band that they have every different pressing of every album the band made. Most of the time, the only difference in the album is the matrix number or a different 'made in' notation on the back cover or label. This is enough to make some people extremely excited. Actually, much more than excited.
love-is telling-stories stories
I love being a storyteller. I love telling stories.
ideas type performers
The idea that any performer type is owed anything is a joke to me.
jobs work-ethic wish
I have no artistic sensibilities. I wish I did. It is probably really cool. I have work habits and work ethic. For me, all the things I do are jobs.
knows do-you-know
Do you know why Albert Camus was so prolific? He wrote to keep from screaming.
thinking hair soul
You could split hairs and bring up words like 'doo-wop' and terms like 'soul' or 'R&B', but I think pop music is what you want it to be - that's why it's pop.
vacation ifs looking-for-work
If I'm in L.A. for longer than 20 days, I'm looking for work, because I don't do vacations.
land america arms
At times, I feel America is something that I can actually put my arms around, more than a land mass and a Constitution, something far more containable and understandable. I don't exactly know what it is, but at these times I feel completely woven into it.
pain people dollars
We spend millions of dollars to remove pain from our lives. It's why so many people get hooked on painkillers. The body becomes addicted to painlessness. That tells you a lot.
stars winter weather
We Californians can watch the Weather Channel for images of winter's brutality unleashed upon our fellow Americans and thank our lucky stars we don't have to contend with it.
powerful cds littles
To see change in your own area code is very powerful. There's a little orphanage down the street from my company, and we donate $1 from the sale of each CD we sell to the orphanage.
