I Would Like To Inspire A Lot

One Of The Biggest Obstacles I've Overcome In My Life Was Thinking I Didn't Deserve To Be Successful. Artistically I'm Not As Much Of A Heavyweight As Someone Like Paul Simon Or Joni Mitchell, Because I'm Not A Creator Of Original Music, And I Worried About That For Years.

I Don't Want To Discredit People's Opinions Of Me, But You Talk About The Violin Or The Cello Or Lead Guitar Where You Have To Learn Tons Of Chords, That's Much More Difficult.

When It's A Funky Uptempo Song, You're Basically Having The Same Kind Of Release You Would Have When You Have Sex, Only It Lasts Longer. Whether You're Playing It On The Guitar Or On The Dance Floor, You're In That Moment.

My Career Is Based On The Slow Build Of An Audience Based On Putting On A Good Show Live And Putting Out A Record Every Couple Of Years. I Was Already Doing Really Well In Terms Of My Goals, To Keep My Fans Coming Back.

Really Important Issues Are Getting Lost, So I Can Say I'm Glad To Be A Citizen Of The Planet And Do My Part.
