For Me, The Backdrop Of Half The

I Don't Write Songs That Don't Affect Me On Some Level, Because I Figure If I Am Not Moved By It, If Its Not Something That I Have A Longing To Celebrate Or To Be Reminded Of, If It Doesn't Affect Me, Then How Can I Possibly Think It Is Going To Affect Somebody Else. My Touchstone Is Write Something That Matters.

It Takes A Little Time Sometimes To Get Your Feet Back On The Ground.

But My Experience Is That People Who Have Been Through Painful, Difficult Times Are Filled With Compassion.

I Can Look Back At Different Times In My Life When I Felt I Could Not Find My Way Out Of Whatever It Was. I'm Not Necessarily Talking About Marriage, But I Wanted To Pack It In. I Wanted To Disappear. A Lot Of That Has To Do With Being In The Public Eye.

Real Relationship Is Gritty And Earthy, The Stuff That Life Is Made Of.
