Everyone has been telling these great James Taylor stories, and nothing for me says it better than this song.

I write heavily under the influence of James Taylor.

The song is the center ; the song is the key. If you don't have a good song you don't have anything by my value.

I'm an interpreter of stories. When I perform it's like sitting down at my piano and telling fairy stories.

I just knew there were stories I wanted to tell.

James Brown died owing me $50,000. But I loved James Brown.
