Musician Quotes
For me, what I learned is that I went for a long time without making music when I was married, and I think some of that was because - it was a little bit unfortunate - but it didn't make sense in the confines of my marriage for me to be the musician and the writer, which requires a lot of focus and attention.

My dad was a club musician. He was always playing guitar and playing loads of soul records and '60s rock n' roll. Whenever he used to cook, he used to play Donny Hathaway, Aretha Franklin, The Kinks, and the Spencer Davis Group - a lot of really earthy things.

I've always felt a great affinity with music. I've felt myself to be more of a musician than anything else, though I'm not proficient in any one instrument. But I think I have a musical sense of things... and writing seems to me to be a musical experience - rhythmically and in many other ways.
