home original specialize taking
I specialize in early homes, and what I care about the most is renovating a home and taking it back to its original construction idea.
record watched
I've watched the world crash and burn in every sense. I've watched the record industry crash and burn; politically I've watched it crash and burn, financially crash and burn.
far knew life music people respond
I knew that I would be making music for my whole life; as far as how many people respond to it, you can't plan for that.
base hopes
My fan base is really expanding into an inter-generational thing - it's what every artist probably hopes for.
call stuff total verses
I've always been a spontaneous singer. And all the stuff that you hear on the end of the songs, what they call the ad libs - that just comes out of my head. That's not thought out at all. I have the verses and the choruses, and then after that it's total improvisation.
certain good musician
You don't have to be a good musician if you've got certain computer skills.
people politics trusting
Nixon was the beginning of people not trusting politics.
goes
If you can sing, you never lose your voice. If you don't know how to sing, your voice goes away because you sing from your throat.
hall hated
I'm not a big fan of any video, especially my own. In a word, I hated the Hall & Oates videos.
music
I'm constantly on my toes and re-examining my own music.
forced
If you're African American, you are forced into making different choices, in a lot of cases, than you are as a white person.
nervous truth ways
Some artists are nervous - most of them are, to tell you the truth, and they have different ways of exhibiting that. Some of them are boisterous, some are really quiet.
egos expected massive people success
I'm used to the egos in the 1960s, '70s and '80s where people just expected massive success and thought it was their birth right to be successful.
built houses miles piece took west
My house is actually two houses that were deconstructed. They were Connecticut Valley houses built in 1771 and 1781. I took them down piece by piece and reconstructed them about 50 miles to the west on the New York/Connecticut border.
