East River Pipe Quotes

My life is just as mundane as everybody else's life. I get up, take a shower, make the bed, eat some cereal, drink some coffee, take a crap, wash the clothes, pay a bill, go to the supermarket, etc... Yeah, I write songs too, but hell, I don't look at writing songs as being something "special" or"above the fray". I'm just like a plumber, or a sanitation worker, or a salesman. I'm just doing my job... trying to get by.

I usually start out with a ball park idea of what I want to do, but I've learned over the years that you must be very flexible. Writing songs is like sculpting from stone. You might look at a stone and say, "I'm going to make a beautiful, sad woman out of that stone." So, you start out to make just that... Chip, chip, chip... But as you continue, you realize that the stone has other ideas... the stone has a mind of its own!... And this stone don't want no "beautiful, sad woman" shit! This stone wants to be something else. So, you just go with it. You don't force it. You let it ride. What the fuck! That's pretty much how I write a song. Go with the flow.
