jobs thinking way
I don't think music is my job - I don't think about it that way, because I don't really get paid. There's no paycheck at the end; it's more of a 'whatever is left over' kind of situation.
song trying way
I love songs because by nature they are concise; they sum up. I try to use as few words as possible. It's usually funnier that way, anyway.
self play joy
It's just a joy to be able to work with a lot of different musicians. When you play with great musicians, whether they're schooled or self-taught, they keep you on your toes.
want
I want to make something that's useful to someone, somewhere.
taught baha young
When I was young, I used to go to Baha'i camp, and they taught me a lot about the equality of religions.
song teacher writing
People take things a little too personal. I write these songs, and they're experiments with thoughts. That's it. I'm not a teacher.
hurt men winning
Dead men always have the last laugh. They win. They're dead. You can't hurt their feelings anymore.
goal interesting long
As long as there are a few people there, I can lose myself, which is the ultimate goal. And that's happening more and more; the non-musical world is becoming less and less interesting to me.
people personality ego
People expect not just songwriters but all personalities to pontificate about their egos.
art art-is humans
Making music and art is about expressing something that's universally human, maybe even beyond human, at best.
weed thinking trying
I think I try to do a lot of things to weed out casual fans.
writing trying care
I'm not trying to write for the masses. I don't care.
writing musician folk-music
I've always thought about myself as somewhat of a folk musician. I just write words.
thinking musician
I don't think I'm even a musician. I don't play a lot of instruments, not really a soloist or anything.
