What time are you leaving for your world tour? ... What's the hurry? ... It takes ten mins to hire a singer and two years to get rid of one. ... I'd say give them all an evening. ...

I've done auditions when there was a line in and out the door and ones where they respected me and commited to a decent listen. ... What if you hire the third one after he's listened to the first two singers mistakes, and just manipulated you into thinking he was the best because he didn't repeat those same mistakes. ...

I'm a firm believer in planting a seed first. ... Maybe it's a phrase, maybe just a word. But plant that first in your brain and forget about it. ... If it's good it'll come back again and again. ...

I wrote a book and the editing was the most painful part. ... Bob Dylan was asked where his early songs came from, Watchtower, Highway 61, etc, and he had no idea and said he could never write like that again. ... I like to write story songs so they have a beginning, a middle and an end. Then you know it's over. ... Study songs you like and try to figure out why they appeal to you. ... Writing is a commitment.
