I Don't Think Hollywood Makes Many Good

Most People Wait For The Muse To Turn Up. That's Terribly Unreliable. I Have To Sit Down And Pursue The Muse By Attempting To Work.

Everyone Wants To Feel That They Matter.

When I Start To Write A Song, I Initially Fall Into Patterns And Creative Habits That Are Familiar, And Because They're Familiar, They Sound Convincing. It's Important For Me To Not Pursue Those Ideas, Because I've Already Done Them, But To Find Ideas That Are Different And Feel Strange To Write And Disconcerting To Write.

It Is The Haunted Premises Of Longing That The True Love Song Inhabits. It Is A Howl In The Void, For Love And For Comfort And It Lives On The Lips Of The Child Crying For His Mother. It Is The Song Of The Lover In Need Of Her Loved One, The Raving Of The Lunatic Supplicant Petitioning His God...the Love Song Is The Sound Of Our Endeavors To Become God-like, To Rise Up And Above The Earthbound And The Mediocre.

The Songs That I Like Are The Ones That You Can't Visualize, That Are Just Cries From The Heart - Those Very Straight, Direct Songs That Make Rock & Roll Music So Wonderful.
