I don't want to hear songs about how sunshiny things are. I don't like songs that feel like radio candy... I like the ones that make you think, laugh or cry - they pull some kind of emotion out of you. ↗

I try to write relevant songs about life and whatever I'm going through and whatever people are going through. ↗

My next record I really just want it to be a collection of great songs, classic songs in a way. ↗

It seems to me that those songs that have been any good, I have nothing much to do with the writing of them. The words have just crawled down my sleeve and come out on the page. ↗

We were concerned with having good songs, not just songs that go two hundred miles per hour. ↗

It's not a bad problem to have because a lot of classic acts are known for one or two songs and in their show they basically hold those songs off until the end and you sit through an hour or so of lesser known material but in our case most of the songs are well known. ↗

I always imagine later on these songs I could've played with a band, but it never worked out that way. ↗

Throughout my life I have cared as deeply about the songs of all peoples as I have about the rights of all peoples. ↗

I intend to keep writing Christmas songs. There's still a lot more about Christmas that can be captured and feel like old-time Christmas. A lot of the traditions haven't been explained in song. ↗

I've been saying for almost 20 years that I need to do a jazz project and it ought to be either big band or I should do some jazz songs with a trio or quartet. ↗
