When You Write Songs, You Have To

Country Music... Doesn't Bend Notes In The Same Way, So I Suppose It's Very English, Really. Even Though It's Been Very Americanized, It Feels Very Close To Me, To My Roots, So To Speak.

One Song Isn't Going To Ever Change Things, But I Suppose It's The Accumulation Of Music Generally [that Is]. If You Can Imagine A World That Has No Music In It, It Would Be A Very Different World, So Music Does Change The World By Virtue Of All The Music In It. Cumulative Music Of Every Kind, From Banging A Drum To Playing A Flute Or Recording Symphonies, Or Singing 'war, What Is It Good For?' All Those Things Change The Whole Way We Live.

I Don't Really Mind Criticism In Music Or In Shows And Stuff Like That At All. I Mean, It Doesn't Really Worry Me Even If It's Like Out Of Place. At Least It's Relevant.

I Enjoy Doing Different Kinds Of Things. I Just Enjoy Being Not Tied Too Much. I Feel That I'm Tied To Myself As A Kind Of Traditional Musician And A Singer, And The History That I Have Ties Me Down.
