I think that I was being much more uptight about those things before. I feel like I really don`t have to prove anything at this point other than what I`m doing.
I mean, I don`t think I would call Claus to do an album of big band tunes. You know, just like arrangers write for the artist they have in mind; you have to keep in mind if you`re going to work with Claus Ogerman. You invite him to do what he does.
I like to interpret `Call me a River`, as if I`m saying, `Now you`re telling me you love me after all that, and I`m telling you to shove off.` That`s my interpretation. But I would never `say` that because somebody else might interpret the song in another...
I`m not really on a mission to tell anybody anything. I`d rather be figured out.
