I Grew Up Listening To All Kinds

You Have Record Companies That Sign Acts That They Think Are Great, And Then They Never Do Anything. Acts That They Don't Think Are Really Going To Do Much End Up Having A Career. I Don't Think Anyone Really Knows What It Is That Drives Somebody To Get On Their Computer And Want To Download A Song.

You Don't Want To Get Too Ahead Of Yourself And Go Out Thinking You Can Play Stadiums Every Night, And They End Up Being About Half-full.

If It Takes You A Year To Cut A Record, I Don't Know, You Need To Find Something Else To Do. It Really Shouldn't Take That Long.

Records Are One Thing, And Obviously, Without Hit Songs, You Don't Have The Opportunity To Do Your Shows. But My Live Show Has Always Been My Selling Tool.

If You Can Go Out With Your Live Show And Turn People On To That, Where You Have That Fan Base That's Religious And They're Going To Come See You When You're In That Town, Once Your Radio Success Is Gone And You're Not A Mainstream Guy Anymore You Can Still Go Out And Play Your Shows.
