I love what I do. I made my first record in '57. I don't think I'll ever get tired of making records and writing songs and singing and being in the music business.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Music has always been a large part of my life, and I'm very fortunate to be able to start a career doing something I love.
A lot of people considered my career as an artist largely over. Two albums got shelved. But I've made music since I was a little kid, and for the majority of that time, I wasn't paid for it. So I will always be making it.
I'm tired of being in a band, but I do want to continue making records and performing, at least a little bit. Making the records isn't always fun. It's fun to be finished with them. Making beautiful things can be quite painful.
I plan to stay in music. I plan to keep making records.
I'm still getting thrilled with music even after 40 years of doing it professionally.
I want a long career in music, so you've gotta keep trying things out; it's gotta get progressively better.
I certainly have gotten caught up in the music business at various times in my life, mostly because you want to get along with whatever record company you're dealing with. I don't want to be flaky. I don't want to be some temperamental, hard-to-work-with musician.
I love making records; I love making music; I love writing songs.
Music will always be my No. 1 passion, but I don't have to be doing it professionally. It's not really about that for me anymore. I feel like I don't have to look at it as a career. I can just rest in it and just be.
I still enjoy doing music. I'm not going to stop doing it, and doing it the way that I feel it should be done.
