I Am Trying To Get Closer To

When I Was A Kid And I Bought A Record, I Ripped That Thing Open, I Wanted To Know Who Was Playing What, What Studio It Was Cut At, Who Was The String Arranger, Who Was The Engineer.

To Let Go Of The Illusion That I'm In Control Is An Important Lesson, Because I Tend To Be A Person Who Likes To Be In Control, Not Only Of My Art But Of My Life And Things Around Me, And It Can Be Healthy Up To A Certain Point, But At The End Of The Day, We Have To Go On Faith And Learn To Let Go And Ride The Wave.

My Career Has Been A Gradual Climb. I Think That's Part Of The Reason Why I've Had Longevity.

I Basically Camped Out For A Year And A Half In An Airstream Trailer On The Beach Out In Front Of The Studio. I Had No Idea What I Was Gonna Do, What Kind Of Album I Was Gonna Make - All I Knew Was That I Wanted To Sit There And Just Take In Whatever Came.

You Can Start Something, Do It, And Believe That That's What You're Doing, But Then The Inspiration Comes And It's Like, "nope, This Is What It Is."
