I had good intentions to do both (albums), and I started feeling like 'Wildflower' was that art album. But then I thought that any pop songs I did after that would make it overlooked.
I think your life informs your art.
Artists have really never had any representation on Capitol Hill, because it's not the nature of the artist to join together and make a unified presence. Those days kind of died in the '60s.
We can't be certain who the villains are cuz everyone's so pretty, but the after party's sure to be the wing-ding as it moves into your city.
Now that I'm in my 40s, it's much easier to be an artist. It's good knowing that I'm not in the game to be competing with really young groups of kids on the radio. Or to, you know, make 'beat' music.
Your art kind of changes as you get older, by nature of the fact that you're hopefully gaining wisdom and you're starting to watch things with a better overview.
Music, art, writing - it gives us a sense of who we are, a sense of our history, a sense of our future and it should provide some kind of comfort. It's not just entertainment for entertainment's sake, it's an investment.
I feel like I am beginning to be a part of a musical community, but I wouldn't say I'm a country artist because I wouldn't want to invalidate anybody else or to even begin to be so preposterous as to think I can just skate into town and get some fans.
When I reach the point that I write Yesterday, then I can retire.
I've only been making records since 1991. When you look at the long-standing careers of people like Joni, it's not very long!
It was a challenge in more than one way. Not only was I not working, I was in a foreign country where I didn't speak the language, and I'm with somebody who's new to me, and I experienced a lot of vulnerability ... (it) was a challenge to my ego, and in the end, was kind of exciting.
There's so much of it you can't control. There is no handbook for how to conduct yourself in the public world.
Perhaps I have been out of the races for awhile but I have not missed many days off the bike, in the gym, on the trails, etc. I'd go nuts if that were to happen.
Everything that happens to you influences your writing,
