If you are a singer and you lose your voice, you realize that you have other skill sets when that is taken out of the equation.

I'm a better writer than I am a singer, and I express myself easily through writing.

Most artists lose their voice, their hair, and their bands. That's not going to happen to me.

You always have to work to become a better singer, songwriter and performer.

On the other hand when you are someone who records their own songs you are basically stuck writing for one voice and for one style that can stifle you a bit. It's a real trade off.

If you can sing, you never lose your voice. If you don't know how to sing, your voice goes away because you sing from your throat.

Traditionally, songwriters can't sing. And that holds true in my case, also.

There's something different that happens when you're writing a song for your own record that you know you're going to sing.

When you're a writer, your song has to resonate with the person you're writing for in order for them to want to sing it. But if you're an artist, you can sing whatever you want.

I don't consider myself much of a singer. I'm a writer first.
