I didn't really know what I was doing when I started. I just started writing songs. After two songs I just continued to explore it.
As important as the funds are, the vision is the greatest gift.
Welfare mothers make better lovers.
Some get stoned, some get strange, but sooner or later it all gets real.
Only love can break your heart.
I have so many opinions about everything it just comes out during my music. It's a battle for me. I try not to be preachy. That's a real danger.
I see a government completely out of control, and money is number one. Integrity isn't even on the map.
I just do what I do. I like to make music
It doesn't mean that much to me to mean that much to you.
I don't have to perform to stay in the public eye anymore. I really don't. I am who I am and what I do on musical stage these days really makes no difference at all. I already have all the momentum there. I am only doing it because I love to do it.
I just wrote one song at a time. Kinda like an alcoholic. One day at a time.
Freedom of choice is meaningless without knowledge. That's why it's crucial we all get engaged and get informed.
As I get older, I get smaller. I see other parts of the world I didn't see before. Other points of view. I see outside myself more.
