enjoying life playing wants
Everyone wants to get into soundtracks. Everyone wants to do songs here and there. But, I think they want it for different reasons. I think I'm just tumbling through my life, enjoying playing with everybody.
women
There's nothing wrong at all with women wanting to be women.
My career has been riddled with controversy, which I never fully understand.
I think I write songs because of pent-up feelings.
guys hear reveal stuff wanna women
Guys don't really don't wanna hear if it's really smart, and women feel uncomfortable if you reveal stuff they're going to have to remember they did themselves.
ended life music people songs stopped
I ended up becoming so self-conscious that my songs stopped being about my life and started being about what people thought of my music. And that was really bad.
firm talking
No firm plans, ... But we're all talking about it.
I'm always champing at the bit to try everything new. It's a terrible quality that I have.
entirely gather lived people wanna york
It makes sense - you wanna gather a lot of people together, and Vegas really does that well. New York can, but you know the hassles. I've lived there. It's an entirely different beast.
people
It's important to have people who will say to you that you're really off the beaten track.
again break conform early earn good lucky people rather simply success
Am I coasting on some early success? Yeah. It was a good lucky break for me. But I would rather earn my way back again than simply conform to what people are expecting.
anyone five music people seconds step
Everything that people lob at you who don't know you, it all hurts. When you're doing something as simple as making music, which really, theoretically, shouldn't hurt anyone - I mean, it's a song! Step back for five seconds and laugh.
art digest life
You know, you become an artist, you become an observer, of life, and you digest life by making art about it.
love trying
It's about the journey and the process. I do things because I love doing them, or trying them.
