- I Can

- Nov 07, 2020
If people want to talk about Bob Dylan, I can talk about that. But my dad belongs to me and four other people exclusively. I'm very protective of that. And telling people whether he was affectionate is telling people a lot. It has so little to do with me. I come up against a wall.
- He

I got to watch my heroes meet him and saw how they reacted, whether it was Joe Strummer or Tom Waits. It was peculiar. I'm so stoked to meet Tom Waits, and he's so nervous to meet my dad. It's a head spin.
- Gold

- Nov 07, 2020
To us, there was Bob Dylan, and there was dad. As for what he meant to other people, that was never glorified in our house. There were no accolades there, no gold records.
- Life
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I've got a life that really matters to me, and that's because of the way I was raised. My ethics are high because my parents did a great job.
- King

- Nov 07, 2020
I always saw songwriting as the top of the heap. No matter what else you were going to do creatively - and there were a lot of choices - writing songs was king.
- People
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I do look at songwriting as a lot of work. I don't over-intellectualize music as a special medium that only some people deserve to do. I think it's something you do if you put the work in.

Writing songs is a trade like anything else.
- Hope
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
My songs have always had hope and perseverance in them - I never write songs that have no escape hatch, no positivity.
- Song
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
Every song you write you think is the last one you're going to manage. You put everything you've got into the song, and you've twisted it and pulled at it and dug in and found a way to complete it. To get another one is the trick.
- Doing
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I don't feel like I chose to do music as much as I made a decision to not stop doing music.
- Look
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I'm in an area where I want to make music that I'm thrilled with, but, you know, I do have to worry about putting food on the table. I'm in that position where I cannot always be gauging what things might become. I have to look ahead, because I'm cautious.
- Nothing
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
If all you were left believing was what you were seeing, it'd be nothing but desperate. To have hope, you're going to have to imagine that there's something behind the curtain.
- Everyone
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
When I listen back to my music and everyone else that's out there, I'm aware that there's something I can do that the next guy doesn't do.

- Day
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
It's been said that I formed The Wallflowers to hide my name but, really, I've always wanted to be in a band - right from the day my friends and I soundproofed a garage with bed-covers for our first rehearsal.
- Deserve
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
If I'm judged against my peers, rather than anyone else we could both think of, then I reckon I deserve to make records.
- Know
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
The back story of a songwriter isn't important to me - I don't listen to music needing to know who the guy is.
- Hope
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I think there's always been hope in my songs, no matter how they've first appeared. I think there's always been a shred of hope in everything I've written 'cause I like that balance.
- Feel
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I don't like to sing things that just sound like they're going straight down the tubes, and they're circling the drain, and there's no hope. It doesn't feel good in any way to sing.
- Nature
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
Those things interest me a lot in songwriting - the human nature of how people think, and the muck that we wind up in.
- Me
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
When you're in the middle of writing a song, you can come up with this whole web of stuff only you know how to get through. That's very entertaining for me to do that.
