We write stories about common people and common things. That's what Skynyrd always is about - the real working class of America.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
It's for the common people, people who have made this great country of ours. That's what the heck I say we always write about.
I write about people in small towns; I don't write about people living in big cities. My kind of storytelling depends upon people that have time to talk to each other.
We have to make a living, sure, but it's about the legacy of Lynyrd Skynyrd and what it stands for, what the fans are all about.
I believe that everyone has a story, and it is important that we encourage all students to tell theirs.
I mostly write about the working poor. Somehow, they're not being written about much anymore. I'm very interested in people who are in a situation that needs a little puzzling out. The thing that gets me started on a story is a person in a tough situation.
I write human stories. I write about people. Not as a product of their environment. But from the stance that everybody is made of the same thing.
You have to remember that I was a bright but simple fellow from Canada who seldom, if ever, met another writer, and then only a so-called literary type that occasionally sold a story and meanwhile worked in an office for a living.
We all have stories we're living and telling ourselves.
American writers, at least those of us who are fortunate enough to support ourselves in the field, are by and large a lucky lot.
I find that most people know what a story is until they sit down to write one.
