With the Michael Moore movie, certain conservative talk show hosts call him un-American. Him and anybody else who says anything about the war...

I feel happy about the songs I’ve written. I’m a great lover of the craft of songwriting, and I sure admire it in other people when I see it - past and present. I feel comfortable with what I have accomplished. I feel happy to be able to work in that environment, and that I have a lot of songs left to be written, somewhere Picture Quote #1

I think at times the very strong feelings I have about my country coincide with my musical ability, and I’m able to actually turn it into music, a song or even hopefully a memorable song, sometimes. You may find it surprising, but I’m a very intense, proud American. I love being an American Picture Quote #1

I’m like a twenty-two-year-old kid in a new band trying to get noticed and break through, because the vast majority of people have never seen me play live Picture Quote #1

I wrote that song for my wife, and it’s what some guy who’s sitting under a tree would be singing to the woman of his life, telling her how wonderful she is. To me, that’s more lasting than something that sounds like it belongs on a movie soundtrack Picture Quote #1

I work hard at that, but the fact that there are a lot of good songs means there are also a lot of really bad songs I’ve written that you never hear Picture Quote #1

No, but I’ve always felt that with true talent, and a commitment to hard work, it is possible to achieve an enduring respect and appreciation. In other words, I don’t take my fans for granted Picture Quote #1

I’ve long ago learned that if an idea will stand on its own, it’ll stand having the light shone on it. But if you shine light on it and it kind of withers, then it probably wasn’t a very good idea Picture Quote #1
