I Have No Doubt In Mind That

What Songwriting Does Better Than Almost Anything Is Empathy - It's Incredibly Empathetic. The Reason People Sat Around In Bars When They Were Bummed Out And Listened To Country Songs Is Because It Made Them Feel Better In The Long Run.

I Think The Music Business Is Changing. Artists That Don't Want To Tour And Just Want To Collect Royalty Checks And Stay Home Are Not Going To Be Able To Do That.

People Hate Good Books To Be Over. I Wish I Could Write A 700-page Book.

I Really Believe That If I Make Records That Are Indispensable To My Audience, They'll Go Out And Spend Money To Buy Them, Even If They've Already Downloaded Them. If They Can Afford It. If They Can't, I'd Rather They Be Able To Download It Than Not Get It At All.

I Don't Type Fast. I Type With Three Fingers - Two On One Hand, And I Only Get One Going On The Other. I Think My Thumb's In There, But I'm Not Sure. I May Be No Better Than An Orangutan When It Comes To That.
