thinking audience
You never know what an audience is going to think about something. The ones that the audience doesn't get, I tend to let them go. I don't like to dwell on them too much.
independent thinking film
I think everybody's contemplating TV now, because mid-level and high-budget independent films are not being made now.
thinking music-is songwriting
I think Americana music is music that is generally more singer/songwriter oriented. It has more to do with the songwriting. The music, it's more like stories set to music.
character thinking mountain
If you look at a character as a mountain over there that you have to climb, then I think you've lost 50 percent of the air.
thinking kind
I think my stuff's kind of obsolete now, you know? I'm making Model Ts or something, and everybody else is making spaceships.
thinking underdog
I don't think anybody chooses to be an underdog.
eclectic
I've led a very eclectic life.
kids music-is
I know that I loved music before I loved movies, simply because I didn't see movies as a kid.
kids house care
If you're going to take care of your kids and pay for your house and do something good for adults, you have to do something on television now.
independent giving film
Independent films now, they want to give you $2 million to make it, 21 days to shoot it and they want 10 movie stars in it.
theatre
We didn't have a movie theatre until I was about nine, so I just didn't see them. But, once I got into movies I loved them.
song sometimes
Sometimes I have songs born out of stories.
song writing player
I write songs on guitar and that's about how good of a guitar player I am. I can write songs on it.
melody
[The lyrics and melody] usually come a little simultaneously, but I would say the lyrics are first; usually I have the idea for a story in my head, or few lines.
