There's only one drummer. We all travel to his beat. Well, I couldn't sing his song. Because for me, it wasn't a truthful statement. Well, Linda sang it, and it was a monster for her. ↗

To have a songwriter that wrote so specifically what I felt to be true... I've never been much of an actor either. If something is real for me, then I can do it. ↗

I am not greedy, so I would gladly give a song to someone else to sing if it makes more sense. ↗

You could write a song about some kind of emotional problem you are having, but it would not be a good song, in my eyes, until it went through a period of sensitivity to a moment of clarity. Without that moment of clarity to contribute to the song, it's just complaining. ↗

I'm a method actress in my songs, which is why it's hard to sing them. ↗

People used to say nobody can sing my songs but me - they're too personal. ↗

The songwriting was almost like something I did while I was waiting for my daughter to come back. ↗

We managed to put together a compilation that had some creativity to it. In the meantime I was listening to the free radio stations and I noticed that during their war coverage they were playing these songs born out of the Vietnam War that were all critical of the soldiers. ↗
