I Look In The Mirror And Think,

Davey Crocket, Peter Pan, Elvis Presley, Disneyland.

Usually When I'm Writing, I Try To Write Fairly Quickly. If A Song Sits Around Too Long, It Starts To Take On A Stink. Most Of My Songs Are Written In One Sitting, Two Sittings Maybe. Those Are The Ones I Like The Best, Anyway.

I Started Taking Piano Lessons When I Was About Four Years Old. My Parents Were Both Musicians. So I Took Piano Lessons. I Didn't Like The Lessons Very Much, But I Was Enchanted By Music. Music Always Transported Me Somewhere. Singing Made Feel Good And Being Able To Play The Piano Made Me Feel Good.

If You Said Good-bye To Me Tonight, There Would Still Be Music Left To Write.

Critics Have Said I Write Without Spontaneity, In Cold Blood. I Don't. I Write In Hot Blood.
