Love Songs Last Because They Are About

I Like To Interpret 'call Me A River', As If I'm Saying, 'now You're Telling Me You Love Me After All That, And I'm Telling You To Shove Off.' That's My Interpretation. But I Would Never 'say' That Because Somebody Else Might Interpret The Song In Another Way.

I'm Not Really On A Mission To Tell Anybody Anything. I'd Rather Be Figured Out.

The Greatest Thing About Music Is Putting It Out There For People To Figure Out.

I Mean, I Don't Think I Would Call Claus To Do An Album Of Big Band Tunes. You Know, Just Like Arrangers Write For The Artist They Have In Mind; You Have To Keep In Mind If You're Going To Work With Claus Ogerman. You Invite Him To Do What He Does.

So Much Of What We Do As Artists Is A Combination Of Personal Experience And Imagination, And How That All Creeps Into Your Work Is Not So Linear.
