I Drink A Lot, Probably Too Much.

Why Would I Want To Sound Like Joni Mitchell? I've Got Joni Mitchell Records, And They're Great, And I Couldn't Possibly Be That Good.

But I Really Do Have A Soft Spot For The Solo Shows. Any Musician Who Writes And Sings Will Tell You That's The Center Of It, That Is It. It's Almost Like There's Something Church-like About It And You Gotta Go Back There, If You're A Songwriter That Sings Your Material.

I Start Songs All The Time. If I Weren't So Lazy, I Would Finish Them. It's Like When I Have A Deadline I Have To. I Always Feel Very Lucky That I Am Forced To Make Records At Certain Times. If I Was Forced To Make 2 Records A Year, I Would Write Twice As Many Songs. I Can't Make Myself Finish Something Unless I Am Forced

The Reason I Stop Playing Songs Is Usually Because I Get Sick Of Them, And Then They Find Themselves Back Into The Set List At Some Point.

Because I Write Very Simply, But Inside The Simplicity, There's A Lot Of Subtlety. That's What I'm Proud Of.
