I wake up every morning singing The Star-Spangled Banner.
My wife cooks. I can't cook. I can remix leftovers pretty good, though.
I'm always trying to find brain food and indulge in knowledge that's gonna be useful.
I never thought that alcohol could ease the notion of the sadness, Now what used to be a happy home done turned into some bad sh!t
I don't need a sensationalized headline to sell music or to bring attention to my music. It's the music and it's always been about the music.
And when I'm on the microphone you best to wear your sweater, Cause I'm cooler than a polar bear's toenails, Oh hell, there he go again.
The beauty of having a studio is I can go in and record any time I want to, so you can always put down your ideas or whatever. You use your voice recorder and, you know, take your voice notes down and just preserve all the little jewels and gems when you're in there, putting that song together.
Sometimes you also work with people who don't explain or express to you what they're actually looking for from the shot but you haven't got that problem with this because whatever you're going to do, whether it's good or bad, will get picked up. So, in that way I guess it's pure cinema.
I love writing songs. I love doing my radio show and talking to the fans and listening to what they have to say, but there's a certain responsibility that comes along with being given the gift of music. I take that seriously, but at the same time I try to use it to do something that makes a difference in a positive way.
It's not great if someone gives you sort of bland praise without giving you clear direction and say, "This is good, let's try it like this. " I have worked with someone who seemed quite inarticulate and just would say, "That's good, that's good. " That's very frustrating because - it's nice to know something is good but you know it can always change.
Truly, we live with mysteries too marvelous to be understood. How grass can be nourishing in the mouths of the lambs. How rivers and stones are forever in allegiance with gravity while we ourselves dream of rising.
