best music obviously sound start
Obviously I try to make the best music that I can, but after about two years of making an album, you start to worry: 'Is it going to come out all right? Is it all going to sound churned out?'
best creativity effect feeds force love personally positive work
I love being a mother. I think it's the best thing I've ever done, and I personally feel that it's had a very positive effect on my work. I think it's an encouraging force for creativity, it feeds creativity - it did for me, certainly.
albums astounding received totally
I have to say I find it totally astounding that my albums do as well as they do. It's quite extraordinary, and it's actually very touching for me for the albums to be received with such warmth.
love people stories watch
I don't read newspapers, and I've said I don't watch the news. I love books, but I don't read much. What I do is I get people to read to me, and I put the stories in my head.
age alienate anyone dances school

My life and my work are very interlocked. That's partly why I like to keep my private life private.
school boys years
I was a choir boy for 3 years in high school at St. George's in Newport, Rhode Island.
two people done
In radio I had one, maybe two people who cared about getting it done. I'd really be a loser if I forgot where I came from. So I show them the love. And how hard is it really to be interested in someone's life?
golfers
Professional golfer... what a life.
writing discipline shapes
To this day George Sr. is the soft touch and I'm the enforcer. I'm the one who writes them a letter and says 'Shape up!' He writes, 'You're marvelous.'
mother president half
You know, for one glorious half hour, I was the mother of the president-elect.
boys trust-me handful
Raising five boys is a handful, trust me.
