people want records
All I want to do is sing on other people's records.
ideas want doe
When you get an idea, it's not going to be a great idea until you push it. You’ve got to push it until it’s uncomfortable. And then you’ve got to ask yourself, ‘Does my project say to my audience what I want it to say?’ ”
christian stories want
I just want to make stories. They don't have to have a moral or a reason. There might be some mild cautionary notes, but they're not moral. They don't impart any Judeo-Christian ethic of any kind.
girl want way
I didn't want to be the girl who posed in 'Playboy' and then - by the way - made some music.
believe want band
Every band wants to go believe me, not everybody makes it, but they want to.
animals bed fairy family gets growing slept tales treated
Growing up, my family was very, very into animals. Animals were treated like other people; they slept in the bed with you. I come from an agrarian background. That's how my family's fairy tales are structured, where animals have a lot of power. It gets into people's psyche.
anybody eastern knows
If anybody knows about tragedy, it's Eastern Europeans.
anybody country mind sounds
I don't know anybody who doesn't hate being called alt.country. It just sounds like a website. I don't mind being called Americana, I don't mind being called country noir, or independent country is fine, but the words alt.country make me insane.
bands closest family personal road studio time
My personal time is the same as my road time and my studio time. Personal time is working and touring. All my closest friends and family are already in the bands that I'm around, anyway.
taken picture-taken
I have a pathological fear of getting my picture taken.
jobs people musician
I always end up working with people that do a really good job, so I'm the only one that I'm worried about disappointing me, not the musicians ever.
writing thinking important
I don't think it's important for everyone necessarily, and I totally respect that because everyone writes differently.
song kids writing
Rich kids who write songs about food stamps always piss me off. I'm not going to write any songs about that, either.
thinking animal empathy
I think I have a lot of empathy for animals and nature in general. Those things just make me comfortable. I grew up in the middle of nowhere, around a lot of animals. I feel for them.
