The Good Thing About Playing The Guitar:

The Process Of Making Music Is More Interesting To Me Than The End Result. If I Was A Cook, I'd Be More Interested In Cooking Food Than Eating Food.

I Do Craft Songs, That This Is Designed. It's Almost Like The Song Was Written To Produce This Desired Effect. And It Probably Really Works For Somebody. It's Maybe Somebody's Favorite Tune, And It's Really Hard To Come Down On That, Even If I Feel A Little Embarrassed For It. Because Some Songs Are Written Like A Commercial, And That Can Be A Little Strange.

I Quit Drinking Every Night, At 1:30 A.m.

It Would Be Really Nice To Make A Record That Would Be Super-fun To Play Live - A Record That Would Be Funny, With A Little Bit Of Heart.

I Got On The Phone With The President Of My Label And I Said, "obviously, I Write Songs In A Lot Of Styles And Play A Lot Of Different Kinds Of Music. We're Getting Toward The End Of Our Business Collaboration. If You Could Envision A Record That You Wanted To Hear From Me, What Kind Of Record Would It Be?" It Wasn't Like Asking Him To Fill An Order, It Was Really Just A Conversation. For All The Things I'd Ever Asked Him, This Was One Thing I'd Never Asked, And I Don't Know Why. So I Was Curious. And The Thing That He Was Most Interested In Hearing Was A Solo Record.
