 I think the songs speak for themselves. I have never claimed to be a brilliant keyboard player. I’ve never claimed to be a brilliant singer. I’ve never claimed to be a brilliant songwriter either, if it comes right down to it, I’m not prolific. I don’t write many songs, and the ones that I do write and complete I do because I like them. If I start something off that’s a dog, I dump it. I don’t have banks and banks of songs that are gathering dust. I’ve got ideas on a bit of tape with a nice little riff that I’ll drag out, and go, okay, I’m going to make something of this. And for that reason I don’t have many songs to give away. If I like them I want to do them myself.

@heart-attack-harry’s request: Behind The Music’s segment on Stevie starting a solo career.

“It had nothing to do with me wanting to leave the band and everything to do with me just wanting to have another outlet for my songs, so that I didn’t feel like I was writing for nothing. Two songs every two or three years is not very much for a prolific songwriter.”

[quotation--marks]

Each day he invited me to witness how he had changed, how love had changed him, how he worked and sang and cherished me. I was in a terrible confusion. Sometimes I thought, but this IS your life. Stop fighting it. Stop fighting. Or I thought, but I am happy. And he loves me. I am safe. Sometimes, when he was not near me, I thought, I will never let him touch me again. Then, when he touched me,  I thought it doesn’t matter, it is only the body, it will soon be over. When it was over I lay in the dark and listened to his breathing and dreamed of the touch of hands, of Giovanni’s hands, or anybody’s hands, hands which would have the power to crush me and make me whole again.
