If I hear a conversation and somebody says something intriguing, my first thought is, 'Is that a song?' I write all year long, and at the end of the year I pull these forty or fifty things out and say which of these things do I want to record.

I write and record all the time; it's my hobby and my passion.

But I think it's hard for me to only put out one record a year. Because I get too antsy. But it's good I'm learning to do that, because each record counts. And you should make it count.

The first record I spent five years writing and it was an amalgamation of all the things that happened in my life from the time I was fifteen to the time I was twenty.

It was kind of easier for me to do records that didn't take a year or two years of my life to write and to make.

So I use a tape recorder a lot to record ideas.

I have been recording for five decades now.

What I do and what I record only work for the moment.

I made the record that my life had me make. Each one is like a diary.
