Folk Music Is A Bunch Of Fat

I Need All Kinds Of Songs - Fast Ones, Slow Ones, Minor Key, Ballads, Rumbas - And They All Get Juggled Around During A Live Show. I've Been Trying For Years To Come Up With Songs That Have The Feeling Of A Shakespearean Drama, So I'm Always Starting With That.

You Say You're Looking For Someone Who'll Pick You Up Each Time You Fall, To Gather Flowers Constantly And To Come Each Time You Call, A Lover Your Life And Nothing More. But It Ain't Me, Babe.

I Paint Mostly From Real Life. It Has To Start With That. Real People, Real Street Scenes, Behind The Curtain Scenes, Live Models, Paintings, Photographs, Staged Setups, Architecture, Grids, Graphic Design. Whatever It Takes To Make It Work.

Once I Went Into Songwriting, I Figured I Had To - I Couldn't Be A Hellfire Rock 'n' Roller. But I Could Write Hellfire Lyrics.

The More You Act The Further You Get Away From The Truth.
