If You Remember Your Lineage, You Will

I Find That People Can’t Find You. It’s Kind Of Quiet. When I Go To A City, I Can Almost Always Get A Piano If I Need One. So There’s Something Nice About Being On The Road And Focusing On Something You Want To Do.

I Think It's A Great Handicap To Be Discovered At An Early Age. I Didn't Have That Burden Of Early Success. I Had The Much More Livable And Durable Career Where Success Comes Late, And Comes Slowly, And You Ease Into It. So By The Time It Comes, You're Ready To Deal With It.

So The Real Drama For Me Is Balancing Live Performances And Writing, And One Of The Ways I Balance It Is I Write In Hotel Rooms. That's Not Exactly Balancing. Actually, Writing In Hotel Rooms Means That I'm Refusing To Deal With The Problem.

What I've Noticed Is That People Who Love What They Do, Regardless Of What That Might Be, Tend To Live Longer.

If You Don't Have A Basis On Which To Make The Choice, Then You Don't Have A Style At All. You Have A Series Of Accidents.
