Most songs that aren't jump-rope songs, or lullabies, are cautionary tales or goodbye songs and road songs. ↗

As a songwriter, I was influenced by David Bowie - a great writer. A class above everybody in so many ways. Lennon and McCartney, of course. Class stuff. David Cousins was my favorite lyricist. ↗

I want my careless song to strike no minor key; no fiend to stand between my body's Southern song - the fusion of the South, my body's song and me. ↗

As far am I'm concerned, I don't listen to radio anymore. They play the same ten songs over and over again, so why would I? ↗

Every time we buy a CD or download a song, the artist is paid for their work. You might not know that this isn't the case when a musician's work is played on the radio. ↗

I have been blessed with some incredible compositions to record and perform and all of my songs have had the ability to grow as I and those who have supported this career of mine for these 50 years have. ↗

I have been consistent by staying true to who I am and will continue to sing the type of songs that those who have continued to support my career expect from me. ↗

Either you write songs or you don't. And if you do write songs like I do, I think there's a natural desire to want to make records. ↗

I think there are things in my story that have helped my creativity. Your father being killed, for instance, is one of the best things that could happen to a kid if he's going to write poetry or songs. ↗

Flower was a good metaphor for growth. The song is obviously about sexual responsibility, so that was the main metaphor. Also, it's like knowing who someone has been and remembering and appreciating that, but really appreciating what they are now even more. ↗
