For as long as I'm able to write songs and sing them, it's just about making them ones I feel proud to sing again and again.

I'm not a trained musician or singer, but I can turn out a song.

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

Since I'm not good at anything else, I hope I can keep singing for a long time.

All I want to do is sing on other people's records.

I really just tried to make a record full of great songs, which is the goal I always have.

I can sing, but it takes an incredible amount of work for me to sound acceptable.

I must work hard to make my singing above reproach; there must be no faults which hard work would take care of.

There's plenty for me to do. There are more albums. I'll record as long as I can and as long as my voice works as well as it does now and for as long as people want to hear me.

I write a song to be recorded. And to some extent to be performed, but definitely more to be recorded than performed, because the recording will last longer than a performance.
