I try to do things that keep me interested. And play music that moves me. I like to move around and play in a lot of different ways.
Then, when the Depression came, all of this changed completely. Since that time, the entire public is of a very different sort and there was not so much support for contemporary music in a direct way.
I'm not trying to stay in the same place and I'm not trying to compete with what's currently in fashion. That would be dishonest. But, at the same time, I'm different and the music reflects that to some degree.
I've discovered all kinds of music and done all kinds of music over the past 40 years, from playing tango with Piazzolla to all the different bands I've had.
Acting and making music are quite complementary. Acting relies on someone else's writing and direction; writing music or lyrics doesn't. But they are both creative and personal in completely different ways.
This kind of music was just hitting England, so we were getting this following in clubs in Birmingham just cause we were trying to do something different.
If you're in a bar and a certain song comes on and the vibe is just different, it evokes the kinds of things that you want to feel, and if music can do that it's a very special thing.
They look at what's more important, like subjects to help with the SAT's, etc. They miss that music is vital. It offers a break from a stressful day of science and math and it's different.
I get to play with all these different players who don't necessarily approach music always the same way that I might. So I learn a lot.
People like Jeff Buckley, the Mars Volta and Bjork made me listen to music differently. You learn the voice is an instrument you can do crazy things with.
I always know I'm a country singer, and regardless of where I've fallen into different places with my music, I know that, really, I'm a country singer.
It's interesting when I jog, how much the music makes a difference. You can pretty much count on the Foo Fighters to get your heart rate up.
When you listen to my music, you hear that there are all these voices going on in different parts of the song. That's because I was always around so many voices in church.
In 1963 and later papers, I pointed out that the special market characteristics of medical care and medical insurance could be explained by reference to differences in information among the parties involved.
Since I was about seven, I've loved cooking. I'd wake up at five in the morning and make cinnamon rolls and all these different things.
It is the dissimilarities and inequalities among men which give rise to the notion of honor; as such differences become less, it grows feeble; and when they disappear, it will vanish too.
A man who gets divorced is not forever going to be talked about for it. There are very different standards that we have for women than we have for men.
My mother said that we're so lucky to be women. It's not that men are weak. Men are men. We're two completely different animals.
The difference between the men and the boys in politics is, and always has been, that the boys want to be something, while the men want to do something.
Friends are generally of the same sex, for when men and women agree, it is only in the conclusions; their reasons are always different.
Women may think men have it all, but only because we've been socialized to express the emotions that are tied to this reality differently, which is to say, men are not to express the emotions that are tied to it.
