Then the line “I saw you gather all your hopes with all your dreams” came from the fact that I have met many up-and-coming keyboard players, producers, and writers who I’ve collaborated with who, again, didn’t really understand what I do and wanted me—the singer—to take a backseat, have a lobotomy and just follow. I’m not a silent partner. I’m not going to dumb myself down.

The whole idea that young people are the only ones making good music and that older musicians do some form of old-fart music is bizarre to me. A lot of the younger artists now, they sing literally one word, and then the producers piece it together with the other words using Pro Tools.

When you start out and you have nothing, and you make it to that pinnacle of your life, you think that your fame and your success are a redemption for everything that ever happened to you. It’s not true. Because at the end of the movie, the credits roll—but in your life, that doesn’t happen. Credits don’t roll. I had to continue living.

I always wanted women on the tour because my band was filled with men, but every time I asked for a woman, Dave Wolff would say, “They don’t play as good as men.” Which isn’t true.

because every boyfriend I ever had was fine until they saw me perform, and then they freaked out.
When men see women singing so powerfully like that, it can scare the shit out of them. If a man is singing, girls swoon, but if a woman is singing, it’s like, “Ay yi yi.” Maybe they’re wondering, “How will I be manly enough?” Who knows.
