It's A Wonderful Life If

I'm A Believer. I Don't Go To Church. I Don't Belong To Any Particular Religion, But I Do Believe In God. I Couldn't Write What I Write About And Be Creative Without A Certain Form Of Belief.

I Think It's An Essential Fact For Any Performer Or Artist To Fail As Poignantly As They Can Succeed.

The More Settled I've Become, The More Problematic My Characters Have Become. There Was A Period When I Wrote Sensitive And Gentle Songs And These Came At A Time When Life Was At Its Most Destructive. I Think You Write About What You Need, On Some Level.

I Feel Like I've Spent The Last Five Years Of My Life On The Road. It Hasn't Affected My Songs But It's Probably Affected Everything Else About Me. Obviously, The More You Travel, The Wilder The Things That Keep Happening To You, The More Likely It Is You'll Get Complete Strangers Knocking On Your Hotel Room Door.

You Write A Scene, And It Works Or It Doesn't. It's Immediate.
