If You Love People Enough, They Will

When You're An Artist, Nobody Ever Tells You Or Hits You With The Magic Wand Of Legitimacy. You Have To Hit Your Own Head With Your Own Handmade Wand. And You Feel Stupid Doing It.

One Thing About Being A Performer Is You're Not Just Doing An Intellectual Job Behind A Desk; You're Out There Performing And Being Looked At, Being Assessed For Really Superficial Stuff.

I Still Get Laughed At But It Doesn't Bother Me, I'm Just So Glad To Hear Laughter Around Me.

I Get So Many Ideas For Songs, But I'm So Seldom Disciplined Enough To Sit Down And Crank Them Out.

The Key Is To Just Focus On The Spots Where The Love Is Real, Because You Can Just Drive Yourself Crazy Focusing On The Negativity, Focusing On The Relationships That Are Irreparable And Just Aren't Going To Work, Trying To Convince The Haters That You Are Indeed Lovable. So Much Of That Is Wasted Energy.
