texas trying next
I try and eat good. On the road, that's next to impossible. And we eat a lot of unhealthy things when we're in Texas - that's what you do there.
I got a feeling that when I have kids, I'm going to have a little girl, and she's going to be completely sensible.
song blessed writing
I've never been good at rock'n'roll songs, anyway; either I'm blessed or I'm cursed, but whatever I write comes out sounding old.
play records certain
There’s a certain urgency that comes from the records of the early 60s before overdubbing and multitracking came into play,
teacher writing school
I've always written. When I was in school, the only teacher who ever liked me was my creative writing teacher. I used to enter poetry competitions, and I don't think I ever lost one. So I had the idea for a while of being some kind of poet.
clothes impossible findings
Finding clothes in the South was impossible.
song writing together
All my records have been written to be records, rather than writing a group of songs and seeing if they fit together.
sweet dog new-york
It's nice coming to Nashville, and we have four-bedroom house and a dog, and we go swimming a lot. We get down here and spread out a lot, and I miss my sweet tea and my cornbread and my good southern cooking - but I'm down here eating pretty for two weeks and I'm ready to go back to New York City.
mother father parent
My parents split up when I was about 2. I realize more and more how much I'm like my father. My gentleness comes from my mother.
nashville hometown stifling
Nashville's like any other hometown - after a while, it's stifling.
song writing ploughing
What I'm doing is basically the same as Bob Dylan did with folk songs and Woody Guthrie songs, the same as folk music's always done. I'm not going to sing about ploughing, but I'll write a song that sounds like it should be about ploughing.
teenager father single-word
There's no such thing as a teenager that listens to a single word their father says.
home ten
On the road, I weigh 168. At home, ten more.
new-york artist cities
New York has always had a love for Southern artists. There's no place else that makes me feel like the city does. I just love the immediate nature of the city, you can get whatever you want whenever you want it and do whatever you want whenever you want to.
