Well, I think if I go back to the kind of genesis of this, first of all, we lived together. We both lived at home with our parents when we started making music. I was 18 and Billy was 13. And over the ensuing years, even after I moved out into my own place as a 21-year-old, we still made most of the music in the bedroom in my childhood home. And as time went on and Billy's tour became...

more and more heavy lift. She started to need to be more kind of diligent about how much vocal rest and physical rest she was getting on the road, which meant that we were making less music on the road. And the sort of turn of the tide there was that we would come off the road and had made nothing new

And then we'd kind of have a detox at home where we would have just spent every day together for several months and we'd kind of chill out. And then we'd sort of reconvene and start making new music. And then we'd go back out on the road. And so it just became a kind of a version of like, wow, this is going to dominate every minute of my life.

And I feel that I'm really not the best pianist, guitarist, backup singer accompanist for Billie. That's not the thing that is my sort of special skill there. My special skill is being able to write and record songs with her. And so if I am picking between the two and I have other stuff on my plate, I'll pick making the album every time.

Yeah, I'm four years older. So I would say that I didn't have much of a kind of a, feeling one way or the other about the age or gender of the predominant audience, I had a real sense of gratitude for their enthusiasm. And the audience that was coming to the shows that Billy was playing couldn't have been more engaged and enthusiastic

Sure. We had just finished making Billie's album and it was about to come out. And I knew that this multi-year world tour was on the horizon for her and that I wouldn't be on it. I was just sort of thinking about my relationship with her and how kind of public... our family had become, and, you know, she's a public figure, I'm a lesser public figure.

There's a lot of attention and judgment paid to us both, and especially to Billy, and it's just sort of a rumination on that.

Thanks so much, Terri.
