I will never do a record without some sense of responsibility.

But now I realize that this record business really needs me. No one else is trying to take a chance or do something different.

I want to live my life, not record it.

I don't know if I want to break my own record. I think I would rather leave it as it is.

Either you write songs or you don't. And if you do write songs like I do, I think there's a natural desire to want to make records.

I'd like to do my first record I ever made, A Church, a Courtroom, and Then Goodbye.

Yeah, I was in the phase for the last ten years or so where every record I made I said OK, that's the last one, I don't want to record anymore, I don't want to do this any more, I don't want to have a public life.

It's not my style to be thinking about what a record is while I'm making it: I just write songs.

When I listen to my own records, I always think, 'Oh, I could have sung that so much better.' But you have to finish something and turn it in. If I didn't have folks who say, 'Come on, we need the record now,' I probably would never finish one.

I made this record without a record label.
