It's kind of a reminder, particularly when you look at his young children, how they gravitate to goodness and to light, ... The idea of the song is that no matter how chaotic it is, wildflowers will still spring up in the middle of nowhere.
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.
Beck said he didn't believe in the theory of a song coming through you as if you were an open vessel. I agree with him to a certain extent.
~Wyatt [my adopted son] is definitely all mine. Little souls find their way to you whether they're from your womb or someone else's.~
Beatle's wrote the Nike song and called it macaroni.
The bands that wrote the big, heroic rock songs - I really wanted to make a record like that.
A song that sounds simple is just not that easy to write. One of the objectives of this record was to try and write melodies that continue to resonate...Everything that happens to you influences your writing...The writing process for me is pretty much always the same-it's a solitary experience...I have yet to write that one song that defines my career...Beck said he didn't believe in the theory of a song coming through you as if you were an open vessel.

It wasn't until I moved to Nashville that I realized what an amazing community it is. It's the thing I've been missing my whole career, the feeling of being able to sit around with a guitar and have people know each other's songs and know songs from people who've influenced all of us. When I moved here pretty early on Vince Gill started calling me to do guitar pulls, and I thought, gosh, this is just like heaven on earth down here.
I have been around for a long, long time. I didn't make it 'til I was older. I went through the period when women were not getting signed, particularly if you were writing songs that were lyrically propelled.
I don't set goals for myself too much, but I'm always trying to write that one great song.
The video forum for me has been a source of great consternation because once you start projecting a look to a song, it robs the listener of their ability to adopt that song and make the lyric their own.
I want to collaborate with Amy [Winehouse] because she's really hot and cool right now. I know one song Rehab was very popular particularly because a lot of young people are in rehab as well. In fact I'm thinking about going. It looks like loads of fun and I know my career will benefit from it.
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!
