art thinking emotion
I think that the older I get and the more comfortable I get with myself, the more I realize that art is about relinquishing control of your emotions and being vulnerable and innocent.
art judgement looks
Look. Art knows no prejudice, art knows no boundaries, art doesn't really have judgement in it's purest form. So just go, just go.
country art nashville
Country music was a part of my life. Now it isn't. We had a good relationship, really, but we wanted each other at arm's length. The people in Nashville didn't want to be responsible for my looks or my actions. But they sure did like the listeners I brought.
distinction
There needn't be a distinction between your life and your music.
television radio tvs
Television really has been my vehicle. I don't get played on the radio much, so I've relied on TV a lot.
people musical taste
We're in a period where society seems very attracted to flash, and that seeps into people's musical taste.
voice personality shapes
It's just a theory really, but I have always thought that your physical surroundings can shape your voice and personality.
writing years two
It was kind of easier for me to do records that didn't take a year or two years of my life to write and to make.
fall past bars
I'm nearly 50. I'm past being photographed falling out of bars.
long thank-god records
I'm a singer and as long as I can sing - which, thank God, is something that I still seem to be able to do - I'd like to carry on making records.
song writing play
I wanted to write songs that would play themselves on stage, songs that sweep you through their current.
feel-good drug sugar
I often say fame is kind of like a drug or like sugar: when it's controlling you it doesn't feel good at all.
trying speak involved
I just try to speak passionately about things I'm involved in and moved by.
simple voice impact
I just try to live a really simple, natural life, because obviously, life has an impact on your voice.
