strong want way
With Crosby, Stills and Nash and Crosby, Stills, Nash, and Young...we're very strong individuals, and we want our lives to be led the way we want them to.
long discouraged critics
If I read or listened to critics of our music. I'd have been discouraged a long time ago.
writing opportunity ongoing
There are always new things to experience, internalize then write about. This process is ongoing with me. It never stops. The opportunity to reach new audiences with all of the music that we have made is thrilling.
nice artist people
I don't have to ask anyone's permission to do anything. It's nice not have to get decisions out of three, sometimes four people, which can be like pulling teeth. So the amount of control that I have over what I'm doing is better for me as a solo artist.
writing people difficult
I find it somewhat difficult to write with other people, although it has happened occasionally.
numbers guy hollies
The Hollies, after I left in 1968, had the audacity, the gall, to have three number one records after I left. Thanks a lot, guys.
dream rap kids
One of the great things about rap music... it leaves a lot to be desired, as far as I'm concerned, musically, but I do recognize the very important place that it has in music and in creating role models for younger kids to emulate, giving them the dream that they can make it out of whatever situation they're in.
insane kind moments
There really is a kind of insane beauty around us all the time. It's just a question of learning to slow down, take a deep breath and meet the moment.
encouragement grateful parent
My parents recognized something in me that they encouraged instead of deflated, and I'll always be grateful to them for that.
mean first-love love-is
I mean, there's times to rock and roll, and I love that too. But I think my first love is acoustic music.
hollies listening stuff
I've been listening to a lot of Hollies stuff lately, and it's beginning to sound pretty good to me.
world digital digital-world
This digital world is completely fascinating to me.
british-musician cut fast lucky money worked
We only had enough money really to cut 10 things and be in there for a month because it's expensive, you know. And, singer/songwriters, today are lucky if they can get a deal, you know. So, we actually worked so fast that we really cut 20 things.
excited forward future looking music present
We are excited about the music, past and present and future, and are really looking forward to playing.
