sometimes states vehicle
Sometimes I feel like I just open myself up like I'm a vehicle for something coming through me. It's like a meditative state I have to be in.
ghetto emotional thinking
I think we start suffering as soon as we come out of the womb. I think that people tend to stereotype. When they think of suffering, they think of abuse - physical abuse, emotional abuse, poverty, that kind of thing. There's different levels of suffering. I don't think that it has to do with how much money you have - if you were raised in the ghetto or the Hamptons. For me it's more about perception: self-perception and how you perceive the world.
ideas worry inspired
I would worry if I wasn't coming up with ideas, if I wasn't inspired.
mom growing-up environment
I didn't grow up in a mom-and-pop, Ozzie and Harriet type of environment, but who did.
writing ideas bullshit
There's this whole idea that you've got the blues and you're going to write. Bullshit. When I feel really bad, all I want to do is sit in front of the TV with the remote control and check out.
girl song believe
Believe it or not, people went so far as to suggest that I might not be able to write songs anymore because now I am married. I tried to explain again that there are other things to write about besides boy meets girl, girl meets boy, boy breaks up with girl, girl is sad.
beautiful genius loser
Blaze Foley was a genius and a beautiful loser.
song essence car
Of course, Im older now. Im in a different place in my life than when I wrote the songs for Car Wheels or Essence or whatever. Different things were going on.
unrequited-love writing unrequited
Theres so many other things to write about than unrequited love.
thinking nashville rocks
I think in the world of rock music or whatever it's called - anything outside of Nashville - there's a lot more freedom within that industry to do whatever you want to do.
moving creativity cities
Any time there's a major change, whether it's going into a relationship, getting out of a relationship, moving to a new city, a death - that usually provides a catalyst for an explosion of creativity.
compassion want bad-manners
Have compassion for everyone you meet, even if they don’t want it.
song mean artist
I feel a lot more comfortable being me these days. I'm constantly told that my work is good. A lot of fans and a lot of other artists say my songs and albums mean a lot to them. Isn't that what's important?
people crafts want
You should put time into learning your craft. It seems like people want success so quickly, way before they're ready.
