song morning writing
In the morning I'd write these essays, anything that I'd feel like writing, and in the afternoon, I'd spend time with my guitar. I had decided after listening to my last four or five albums that my biggest weakness musically was melody. the reason I had been singing in a monotone over the chord patterns in my songs was that I never practiced doing melodies.

Well, I've never had any sort of macho revulsion of fags, but Bowie and I - never, never, never, never.
certain
Miami is nothing like me, and that's why I need to be here - it's the opposite.

Living in England was wonderfully civil and easy-going.
lonely voice people
I try to beat back the producers and engineers so they - there's not an excess of stuff used to squeeze my voice to make it artificial. There's a person in there, and people will listen; if they hear another person speak to them, they'll listen because it's lonely out here.
