music song play
A guitarist or a drummer can get a cold and still play; I get a cold and sound like a wet mitten trying to sing you a love song. Charming.
moving player emotional
I've never felt anything that moves me as much as my piano. I'm an emotional player. I don't really like people. I prefer my piano to people. It's totally reliable and it's alive. I can hear what it's saying.
song writing play
If I was writing songs just for me I'd only play them in my living room, alone.
daughter play people
The fact that religion plays such a part in how people vote troubles me, troubles me as a minister's daughter. Because I always felt that the separation of church and state was what our forefathers and foremothers really fought for.
player piano singers
After a while, though, you realize that a whole slew of young singer-songwriter piano players are getting compared to you. That's when you feel the passage of time is occurring.
eye player looks
I'm not like a poker player. I'm not into bluff. My way is to look someone in the eye and tell them the way I'm intending to go. My cards are always on the table.
sex real play
In real life I'm bone dry and when I play I'm a mango and in sex I'm starving to be a dripping mango
song play conversation
When I play live, it's a conversation that we're all having with the song, and the audience... their response and relationship with the songs is as valid as my relationship with the songs.
asking life means needing people stories word
The word 'confession,' to me, means needing to be absolved, ... I'm not asking for forgiveness. I'm not asking people to understand. I'd like to think that I tell stories and sometimes my life weaves through it.
build great touch wall
Sometimes I think you want me to touch you, how can I when you build a great wall around you.
matt talk
I think musically, if you talk to (drummer) Matt Chamberlain, he'll tell you it's really complicated rhythmically.
lose piece vegetarian
When it's all said and done we will lose a piece to a carnivorous vegetarian
barefoot chicken fried involve piece
I have my own parties. They involve being barefoot with a piece of fried chicken and margarita in each hand.
acquired control everybody hairy potato taste wants
You can't control your popularity; I know I'm an acquired taste - I'm anchovies. And not everybody wants those hairy little things. If I was potato chips, I could go a lot more places, but I'm not.
