when you write a good tune and you know it’s good, and you haven’t played it for anyone, it’s like holding hope in your pocket. And the hope has a heart that’s beating and it rushes through you and all around you. For a moment you’re proud of yourself because you have this little bit of gold that no one’s heard and you’re the only guy in the world that knows it or feels it or knows how good the tune is. That’s the best feeling.”
