To Make A Song Is A Gift,

A Lot Of My Songs, They're Like Puzzle Pieces, And There's Just One Way To Put Them Together. You Could, If You Needed To, Get The Scissors Out And Cut Up Things To Make Them Work. But I Don't Want To Do That.

There Are Times When I Want To Be Plainspoken About My Feelings In A Song. But There Are Other Times When It's Really Good To Try And Get My Head Around Different Kinds Of Song Structures, Or Maybe I Might Get Turned On By Trying To Write A Song That Would Fit In This One Scene In A Movie. And By The End Of All This, You Just End Up With A Bunch Of Different Ideas. And Songs Are Really Just Ideas.

What I Love Most In Life Happens To Be The Very Thing That I Do Day-to-day, As My Work. What Would Be My Hobby, You Know, Happens To Be My Actual Job. So I'm Very Lucky. Even If I Didn't Want To Do As Much Work As I Do, I'd Still Feel Compelled To, Because I So Longed To Be A Full-time Artist, And Since I've Been Given That Opportunity, I'd Never Want To Let Down The Gift.

It Was Never My First Choice To Be A Singer/guitar Player. I Really Wanted To Play Drums.

To Make A Song Is A Gift, And Once It's Done It Keeps Evolving And Changing And Becomes A Tool To Interact With Other People. It's Like A Conversation.
