I Only Write Music For Myself, I

I Got In Trouble With The Police, And That Was A Rude Awakening. That Was It. I'd Seen The Bottom Of The Pit, And It Was Time To Scrape Myself Out Of It.

Social Media Is A Giant Distraction To The Ultimate Aim, Which Is Honing Your Craft As A Songwriter. There Are People Who Are Exceptional At It, However, And If You Can Do Both Things, Then That's Fantastic, But If You Are A Writer, The Time Is Better Spent On A Clever Lyric Than A Clever Tweet.

A Songwriter Writes Songs All The Time, Whereas Just Writing A Song Can Be Done By Anyone, Anytime.

And I Never Forgot This As Long As I've Ever Performed, No Matter How Crap I Had Felt Before I Went On Stage. I Just Remember Tina Turner Going Up There, Singing Her Heart Out For Everybody, And Meantime She Had A 102-degree Fever And She Was Feeling Terrible.

I've Never Been Enamoured By The Idea Of Being A Celebrity.
