Truth has her sterner responsibilities sooner or later in store for those who have known anything about her.
I have to say one of the lessons I learned is to always be prepared.
A good song can be produced in several different genres.
Music is cyclical and as an artist and songwriter, you need to be able to predict what trend is coming next.
I have been exposed to most musical genres and have learned how to tackle them effectively.
The golden rule would be to write a great, authentic song that is well produced and it will find its home. The audience can feel whether or not the artist is being genuine in their music. It's up to the artist to have the courage to reveal their truth through their songs.
Knowing how to market yourself and your press materials is key.
I love Jessica Simpson. I love her voice. She's amazing.
[People] are looking at the politicians as being all talk, no action. They talk the big game, then they go to Washington, they look at the magnificent hallowed halls as you would say, or the beautiful vaulted ceilings and they say, "darling, I've arrived," to their loved one or their wife. They say "darling, I've arrived" and all of a sudden they become nothing.

If I had the chance to spend a day with Werner Herzog, I would want there to be a canoe involved. I want to be down in Patagonia or something, and kill some kind of wild beast and skin it and gut it and cook it. And then turn its fur into some kind of layer of warmth. And then trek through the hills.
