I Think I Have Allowed My Voice

I Think That The Older I Get And The More Comfortable I Get With Myself, The More I Realize That Art Is About Relinquishing Control Of Your Emotions And Being Vulnerable And Innocent.

I Feel Like At 50 I've Decided To Become A Rock Star, Which Is, You Know, Typical Of Me. I Always Seem To Work Backwards.

Country Music Was A Part Of My Life. Now It Isn't. We Had A Good Relationship, Really, But We Wanted Each Other At Arm's Length. The People In Nashville Didn't Want To Be Responsible For My Looks Or My Actions. But They Sure Did Like The Listeners I Brought.

I Think I Don't Sing As Hard As I Used To Sing. I Used To Kind Of Hit The Accelerator A Lot Back In My Youth, But Now It's Just Being Able To Control It, And Not Work It So Hard And Use More Of An Emotional Or Sub Textual Kind Of Approach To Singing.

I Think I Have A Better Sense Of My Weaknesses - Being Self-important, Selfish And Having A Big Ego Probably Triggers All The Other Stuff. I Can See Myself More Clearly.
