My father was a man of love. He always loved me to death. He worked hard in the fields, but my father never hit me. Never. I don't ever remember a really cross, unkind word from my father.
When I record somebody else's song, I have to make it my own or it doesn't feel right. I'll say to myself, I wrote this and he doesn't know it!
For you I know I'd even try to turn the tide.
I love to go to the studio and stay there 10 or 12 hours a day. I love it. What is it? I don't know. It's life.
I start a lot more songs than I finish, because I realize when I get into them, they're no good. I don't throw them away, I just put them away, store them, get them out of sight.
I'm very shy really. I spend a lot of time in my room alone reading or writing or watching television.
