“Yes, I've been down the pike and back. And through the years, I've hea...” — J. J. Cale Quote

“Yes, I've been down the pike and back. And through the years, I've heard different songs with scatting in it, and it was - always cracked me up as kind of a funny style of music, you know? When I did it, it kind of cracked me up as a comedy kind of routine.”

“I generally, you know, I don't - I don't really scat. I'm - I'm basically a songwriter so you need a little lyrics that rhyme and stuff.”

“I sing and play guitar, but songwriting is how I pay my rent. And so I didn't really need a lot of publicity to get people to record the songs.”

“I've always said I have one foot wholly removed from reality at all times, but I like it that way. I feel like I run parallel to so many narratives in my own head, like my own true mirror is cracked and reflects my true self back at me in various different ways.”

“High performers obsessively research their dreams from a multitude of sources. To become world-class, you have to know who has already cracked the struggle you face ahead.”

“I think that you can get more passionate about somebody the longer you're with them and the more you know them and the more you go through together. Being married is definitely better than it's cracked up to be I think.”
